Repeat script questions

[nick]

Hey people,

Im trying to make a script that will take a value (number) out of the dialog text box and then assign that value to a variable. I then want to repeat a certain part of the script the number of times that the variable value is eg. 3 times.

for example i have.

Code: Select all

Dialog>test
Edit=msEdit1,72,33,193,Enter number
EndDialog>test

let>reno=test.msEdit1

repeat>re
**Here is all my code**
until>re,%reno%

Am i doing this correctly?

Very close. You will find many examples of this posted on the forum though they will probably be embedded in other code and might be hard to recognize. I'd do it like this:

Code: Select all

Dialog>test
Edit=msEdit1,72,33,193,Enter number
EndDialog>test

//Initialize your counter
Let>re=0
repeat>re
//add one to the counter each cycle
add>re,1
**Here is all my code**
//cycle until your counter equals the edit box value
until>re,%test.msEdit1%

Hi, here are two ways you can do it. One with an imput box and one with a dialog box.

Code: Select all

/*  THIS WAY USING INPUT BOX

Let>INPUT_BROWSE=0
Input>result,Enter the value here.
Input>count,How many times do you want to repeat your script?
Let>reno=result
Let>k=0
Repeat>k
Let>k=k+1
Let>finishedResult=%reno%*10
Until>k=%Count%
MessageModal>finishedResult

//OR THIS WAY USING A DIALOG BOX
*/

Dialog>Dialog
   Caption=
   Width=315
   Height=87
   Top=204
   Left=753
   Max=1
   Min=1
   Close=1
   Resize=1
   Edit=msEdit1,96,16,121,
   Label=Enter Value here.,8,16,true
   Button=Submit,224,16,65,25,1
EndDialog>Dialog

Show>Dialog,rez
    Let>ans=DIALOG.MSEDIT1
    Let>answer=100
    Let>k=0
        repeat>k
        Let>k=k+1
        Let>s=%answer%+%ans%
        Let>answer=s
        Message>answer
        Until>k=3
End
