Ok, lets say i'm doing the following logic code



After the script does Step F, i need the sistem to re-evaluate Stament A.
If i enclose all the script in a loop and put a continue after each step F, will it work ? Because i know a continue placed in a loop restarts a loop, But this is on hell of a loop, each step and statement beeing extremely huge, esspecialy step E wich will probably be 1mb of text !

And speaking of that;
Isn't there a way to write once each step in the script, and then use the above code to relate to the allready written steps

For instance
Step C
{
bla bla bla
}

Step D
{
bla bla bla
}
etc.

And then used the simplified code above, and everithing is ok. ?
Aren't those called soubrutines or something. ?
I mean, describing the soubrutine once, and whenever i need to run that soubrutine, just write it's name.
Can this be done ?

Now i realized this is not a loop in a loop in a loop scenario.
But just in case i;ll ever make a loop1 in a loop2 in a loop3, and i put a continue in the inner most loop, which is loop 1, will loop 1 restart or loop 3 (outer most)restart ?

You can use Gosub for both, you can also use functions:

Nice, so i can write the "Subrutine" only once, and it is executed as many times as needed

I know using continue restarts the loop
I need to use a continue inside the loop B to restart loop A
How can i do that ?
I i put a continue in loop B, it will restart loop B, not loop A

No matter what, Loop "B" will be executed, so why not put a Break in Loop "B", and a Continue on the first line after Loop "B" ends?

Or you can go into the HelpFile, and look up "GoSub". That'll definitely do it for you.

I too was thinking of breaking loop B, and put a continue right after that, outside of loop B ofcourse.
It seems i was right ! You thought the same thing

Problem with that is... The code at the end of Loop "A" wouldn't get executed. You would need to essentially make a boolean value (On/Off or True/False) and have a couple If statements in and out of the Loop "B" for that to work. Honestly, I would really consider looking at "GoSub" in the HelpFile. It is easy to use...

If its 1mb of text then youre doing it wrong

ROFL... but I agree. Smart use of functions/subroutine will minimize repetitive code significantly.

On a side note: timers, recursion, and goto are other repetition mechanisms that can be used instead of loops (but be careful!)

Ok, i guess i was exagerating about 1 mb of text.
But even so, now that i have learned the subroutines thing, i have made everithing into subroutines, and call the subrutine whenever i need something done !
