So I read the help file on loops and breaks, but the only example is if a var > 25 or var <= 5, etc. 

What I want is a loop to break if a key is pressed. 

Take for example, my script:

 

Del::

Loop, 50

{

Send L

random,xx,750,1500

sleep %xx%

send K

Sleep 5000

}

 

Is there a way to say "If O is pressed, break"?

 

Thanks,

Ameji

Hello again

 

This is probably not the best way of doing it but it works

 

Press o to stop the timer/loop or wait until it have looped 50 times

BreakKey = {o}

Del::
    SetTimer, Looper, 200
    Input,Key, I L1, %BreakKey%
    SetTimer, Looper, Off
return

Looper:
Counter++
IF (Counter = 50)
{
MsgBox Loop OFF
SetTimer, Looper, Off
}	
Send L
random,xx,750,1500
sleep %xx%
send K
Sleep 4800
return

Alright, I'll test this out. Seems pretty nice though.

Yes, this works! Now, instead of making another thread, I just need one more request.

I want a MsgBox to pop up and tell me the xx number that it picks each time. I'm trying to test for a certain time, so if it lands on the time I want, I will press o to end the loop, and when I end the loop, it will say what xx was. I'm looking for a certain error message with this script, so I know when to press o. The reason I have a random generator for xx is so that I can find that time. 

 

Summary:

Press O to end loop when error message is found, MsgBox pops up telling what xx was.

Do you mean like this?

 

MsgBox, Random Number: %xx% Loops made: %Counter%

OR

Tooltip, Random Number: %xx% Loops made: %Counter%

OR

fileappend, Random Number: %xx% Loops made: %Counter%`n,Debug.txt

BreakKey = {o}

X::
    SetTimer, Looper, 200
    Input,Key, I L1, %BreakKey%
    SetTimer, Looper, Off
return

Looper:
Counter++
random,xx,750,1500
MsgBox, Random Number: %xx% Loops made: %Counter%
IF (Counter = 50)
{
MsgBox Loop OFF
SetTimer, Looper, Off
}	
Send L
sleep %xx%
send K
Sleep 4800
return

Send L
sleep %xx%
send K
Sleep 4800
return

Beautiful and working, but is there a way to make it log the numbers automatically?

You can probably make it log by using something like FileAppend or IniWrite, depending on how you'd like it done. I encourage you to read up on those. (Both so you can learn and because I don't have much time to keep procrastinating on my studies, hehe.)
