My first Script, looking to pick your brains.

That's ok.  I can make my karma whatever I want.

LOL...  I know.

repeat
  blabla code
until #True

Would mean that you dont need the repeat as it would only ever ever ever run once so is the same as

blabla code

~~~~~~~~~

What you should do is something like this

Code: [Select]

Set %ExitScript NO
Repeat
    ; Scan the journal for a exit keyword
    ; such as   "bigJobs"
    ; If you find bigjobs in the journal set %exitScript YES
    ; ..
    ; All the code Between the repeat and until .. will keep looping until %exitscript = YES
Until %ExitScript = YES
Halt ; The script is over stop running.

[Scrripty]

Or for the total noob.

Code: [Select]

start:

script

if #conditiontoexit = #true
   goto end

goto start

end:
halt

That will loop over and over also.   Just sayin...

yes script you could do that but personally i find that harder to read, and debug especially once your scripts start getting larger and larger.  If you can manage the logic of a repeat until loop you will be better off in the long run.  I have scripts 10k lines long without a single GOTO statment.

In fact   Until <Condition>   is basically codewise equialent of
   If NOT <condition>   goto <tag>    And Repeat is eqvialent to <Tag>

Its hard to do something like this with ifs.. and gotos..  , hard to read hard to debug

Code: [Select]

Repeat
   bla bla
   Repeat
      blba bla bal
      Repeat
          bla bla bla
      Until !ExitScript || InnerLoopCondition
   Until !ExitScript  || OtherCondition
Until !ExitScript
Halt

All that said you make your own bed and u lie in it. LOL take it from me thow trashing the gotos will save you tons of headaches.

I never use gotos.  But when you're new, they are easy to understand.

I havent been new to coding in sooooo long i've kinda forgotten what the umm initial viewpoint is

*rummages through script*  mmm... I got a bunch of goto statements...  I guess cause they are easy like you said.

Don't worry about them too much.  If it works for you, then just use'em.    I still do if they make sense for the task at hand.

dont worry about it seeriusly  .. just keep that script moving forward what ever way you can.
