Loop Header issue with KiXstrip

MCA,

Noticing a peculiar behavior with KiXstrip..

Consider the following code:

code:

             IF $profile_remove = 'YES'
                   $index = 0
:loop4
                   $keyname = ENUMKEY($profilelocation, $index)
                   IF @error = 0
                         IF $keyname <> @userid OR $keyname <> 'Sales'
                               $rc = DELTREE($profilelocation+'\'+$keyname)
                               $index = $index + 1
                               GOTO Loop4
                         ENDIF
                   ENDIF
             ENDIF

Can we do something like?

code:

             IF $profile_remove = 'YES'
                   $index = 0
             :loop4
                   $keyname = ENUMKEY($profilelocation, $index)
                   IF @error = 0
                         IF $keyname <> @userid OR $keyname <> 'Sales'
                               $rc = DELTREE($profilelocation+'\'+$keyname)
                               $index = $index + 1
                               GOTO Loop4
                         ENDIF
                   ENDIF
             ENDIF

What are your thoughts with this?

Kent

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Kent, Are you sure that code would even work? Looks bad, real bad! Jumping out of one IF loop into the middle of another IF loop. Gives me the {{{shudders}}}. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	OK.. Trying to get some code together that will do this.. Also found another post from Rad (MapPrinter) that does this too. OK.. Here is some code. Trying to think in terms of working with 3.63 and up.. code: IF $profile_remove = 'YES' $index = 0 WHILE ENUMKEY($profilelocation, $index) AND @error = 0 IF $keyname <> @userid OR $keyname <> 'Sales' $rc = DELTREE($profilelocation+'\'+$keyname) $index = $index + 1 ELSE $index = $index + 1 ENDIF LOOP ENDIF Thanks, Kent _________________________ Utilize these resources: UDFs (Full List) KiXtart FAQ & How to's

MCA MCA KiX Supporter Registered: 2000-04-28 Posts: 5152 Loc: Netherlands, EU	Dear Kent, We agree with Les, that it isn't a nice way of programming but sometimes such structure is necessary to make things possible. Things possible which can be done in another way. At this moment it doesn't high priority on our list. Reason: normally it is a very bad habit to use labels. It aren't only GOTO labels, but also GOSUB labels we have to deal with. In your second example it can be very hard to find used labels back. For that reason we put them always at the beginning of a line. In most cases it was already at the beginning of that line. greetings. _________________________ email scripting@wanadoo.nl homepage scripting@wanadoo.nl \| Links \| Summary of Site Site KiXforms FAQ kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| FAQ & UDF help file UDF kixtart.org library collection mirror MCA \| mirror USA \| mirror europe UDF scriptlogic library collection UDFs \| mirror MCA

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	and I have to agree with MCA on this one. it surely is easier to follow when the break points are clearly visible. what comes to loop, I suggest something like: code: IF $profile_remove = 'YES' $index = 0 $keyname = ENUMKEY($profilelocation, $index) while @error = 0 and $keyname <> @userid $rc = DELTREE($profilelocation+'\'+$keyname) $index=$index+1 $keyname = ENUMKEY($profilelocation, $index) loop ENDIF notice, I removed the "sales" check as I have no idea what it was. you can put it back if it is important. also kent, if you could be online later, I need to discuss on one outlook manner... _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Won't that remove all profiles or do you only want to remove roaming profiles? Also, I would rather enumerate all profiles with ArrayEnumKey() and then delete the ones that fit my criteria. I would not delete the profiles while in the process of enumerting them, it might confuse the enumartion index (haven't tested it as I went the safe route and kept enumeration/deletion separate). _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	Was trying to code together a method to remove the "OEM User", "Microsoft Exchange Settings", etc. from the user's profile and then start fresh. The looping structure has been updated in the Outlook/Exchange FAQ. Thanks, Kent _________________________ Utilize these resources: UDFs (Full List) KiXtart FAQ & How to's
