professor professor Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-10-02 Posts: 34 Loc: Bartow, Florida	I want to insert a LOOP into an If else statement.This is what I have so far: WHILE @ERROR = 0 "Project Folder Number:" ? GETS $projfile IF EXIST ("$workingdir\$projfile\.dgn") SHELL "XCOPY $workingdir\$projfile $DestDir\$projfile /E /I /Q" ? ELSE want to loop back to WHILE but simple LOOP doesn't work* ENDIF LOOP I kinda need this ASAP, so anything will help.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	you could turn it upside down: code: "Project Folder Number:" ? GETS $projfile WHILE 0=EXIST ("$workingdir\$projfile\*.dgn") "does not exist. give existing one" ? GETS $projfile loop SHELL "XCOPY $workingdir\$projfile $DestDir\$projfile /E /I /Q" ? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

I just want to make an endless loop, no matter if the given file exists or not, I want it to go back to asking for the Proj Folder Number. [ 07. October 2002, 21:41: Message edited by: professor ]

Waltz Waltz Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2002-08-01 Posts: 485 Loc: Waterloo, Ontario, Canada	It's a scary thought... code: BREAK OFF $done=0 $projfile=0 DO ? "Project Folder Number:" ? GETS $projfile IF $projfile=0 ;$done=1 ;finite loop $done=0 ;infinite loop ENDIF IF NOT $done IF EXIST ("$workingdir\$projfile\*.dgn") SHELL "XCOPY $workingdir\$projfile $DestDir\$projfile /E /I /Q" ?

Just what are you trying to do? It is not clear to me. [ 07. October 2002, 21:54: Message edited by: Jack Lothian ] _________________________ Jack

professor professor Fresh Scripter Registered: 2002-10-02 Posts: 34 Loc: Bartow, Florida	Alright, solved that problem, but now I've got another. In the exist statement, only the files in the immediate directory are searched. I need to have every subfolder included in that search. How do I do that? if EXIST ("$workingdir\$projfile\*.dgn")

This is my entire script as it is now if you need to look at the whole thing.

code:

 
BREAK ON
"Source Directory:" ?
GETS $workingdir		;enter source directory
"Destination Directory:" ?
GETS $destdir			;enter destination dirctory

WHILE 1=1 
"Project Folder Number:" ? 
GETS $projfile 
if EXIST ("$workingdir\$projfile\*.dgn")  
SHELL "XCOPY $workingdir\$projfile $DestDir\$projfile /E /I /Q" ? 
endif
LOOP

Waltz Waltz Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2002-08-01 Posts: 485 Loc: Waterloo, Ontario, Canada	Lonkero... I guess your version and mine end up with the same net result It's only 'endless' until you end it! I have enough nightmares about unintended endless loops that the mere thought of actually creating one puts me into another mind space... _________________________ We all live in a Yellow Subroutine...

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	waltz, I love the for loops the best. for $=0 to 2 "heh" ? $=0 next then if you nest them with some executions and internal function calls... sweet! sadly kix gets pretty quickly stack overflow... even though my stack can handle that really easily _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Interesting! You might look at this UDF. It has several of the features you might need. Find all large folders Jooel, You are naughty! [ 07.
