"Breaking" from a loop
|
Is there a way to, when using #FORALL and running through a string list variable, when something in that list matches something I'm looking for, then stop the remaining execution of that #FORALL? IE - Let's say I'm searching through #FORALL for something that matches %1. I would just:
#FORALL @thisismystringlist {#IF (%i = %1) {do something;STOP the rest of the forall}}
How do I perform that second command? Is there one to do such thing? |

Hello
I think the command you need is #ABORT.

You'd need to use the #abort in a special way, because if you put it inside the #IF statement, it will only stop the #IF statement, not the #forall.
Something like this would work:
#alias abortalias {}
#forall @thisismystringlist {Do-This;#IF (%i = %1) {#alias abortalias {#abort}};abortalias} |

Wouldn't it be simpler to just check the list?
#IF (%ismember( "%1", @thisismystringlist)) {do something}
No loop, so no need to stop one either. |
