Just thought I'd just mention this sooner, than later!

Anyone have any "clean" workarounds in the meantime (apart from gotos). Artificially bumping-up the index inside the for-next works:

code:

---

break on
for $i=1 to 10
 ?"i=$i"
 if $i=5
  $i=11
 endif
next
exit

code:

---

$i=0
do
     "i = $i" ?
     if $i=5 $i=9 endif
     $i=$i+1
until $i=10

---

I think that EXIT and QUIT should be refined so that EXIT will exit from any FOR...NEXT, IF...ENDIF, DO...UNTIL and WHILE...LOOP loop. And QUIT should immediately quit the current script. I have found that sometimes I have to do QUIT QUIT to get out then and there.

Right on. I'm thinking that even though this workaround works, things aren't quite as straight-forward when using the FOR-EACH-IN-NEXT statement. Because one is dealing with arrays and OLE collections, how would one "fake-out" the last object + 1 ? By poking the object index internally ?

quit quit eh ? Sometimes I have to say this to my wife and children when the first quit doesn't work

Shawn.

p.s.

Have you written a game for k2k yet ?

Shawn..

I am still working on V2.0 of that game but it won't have k2k only code. It does have a generated map that goes in all directions forever(or KiX's version of such) and if you go up and up and then down and down the map is the same.

I have been playing with MSAgents and have a k2k version if you like. I am going to make an Eliza program with MSAgents next. Have to quickly do some work related coding so that no-one notices that I am getting nothing done

For now, GOTO can also be used to leave a FOR-NEXT loop.
