I've been dabbling my fingers in VB lately, and find it much easier to use than the way I'm used to doing it in kix. Along with "Exit For", I'd also like to suggest "Exit While", and "Exit Do". Just my two cents.

Knowing how you like to cut strokes in your code, I would have thought this would have been something more welcome. I guess I see it as a good way to exit a loop when a certain condition is met... kind of like exiting the script when a error occurs.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	ja, I know. but when you go for interrupting the normal circle with exit, you in fact are using goto. the name is different and the behaviour of exit-for (as an example) can be changed. instead of leaving the code structure in the stack, it can be flushed but that does not remove the fact that it works just as goto. anyway, as I've growth in age, I have learned to not dislike goto that much. and perhaps the fact that ruud uses it too has some impact on my opinion _________________________ ! download KiXnet

However, that would normally imply a skilled coder. And a skilled coder should know about how GOTO/GOSUB/RETURN work and what stacks are used for. The problem is that beginners use GOTO extensively without knowing whta mess they can potentially create. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

If you want to check for a specific item in let's say WIN32_Product and you know your item is the first one that is available you want to exit the loop when it is reached, not when it's finished cycling trough all installed products. Sure you can count your way there but who's to say that your specific item is in the first place on the second pc. So I agree with Allen, I'd love to see Exit For/While statements.
