Re: For Next iterations
I'm sure I don't see the point.

Re: For Next iterations
That's what I was thinking when I first saw it, but I think the colon isbeing used as a statement separator.as inFor Count = 1 to 5DoIf Count=3 then Exit DoMsgBox CountExit DoLoopNextI think that's what they were going for.Furthermore, what's wrong with "cool?" I also enjoy saying "sit on it" andI'm not American."Evertjan." wrote in messagenews:Xns93C7D810FC039eejj99@194.109.133.29...[color=blue]> Brian Burgess wrote on 29 jul 2003 in> microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.general:[color=green]> > Hey I got a cool way from Walter Zackery/Michael Harris in the VBScript> > group...> >> > For Count = 1 to 5> > Do> > If Count = 3 Then Exit Do> > MsgBox Count> > Exit Do:Loop> > Next> >> > Cool eh? a Do Loop wrapper ..[/color]>> Silly American word "cool", and wrong too:>> If Count=1 the do-loop will trigger indefinitly,> outputting messageboxes galore,> never even reaching count=2>> The "Exit do:" as a label is also nonsense,> "Exit do" does not even use/need a label.>> --> Evertjan.> The Netherlands.> (Please change the x'es to dots in my emailaddress)[/color]

Re: For Next iterations
well, pardon my silliness.. however, what I have shown is workingcorrectly. I dont think it is a label in this case.. in fact I dontbelieve labels work at all in script, but not sure if I remember thatcorrectly anyway. Here I think the colon is interpreted as something likea new line.So in this case, the Do only executes once for each iteration of the Forloop no matter what, and the If clause telling it if it can exit earlier.Anyway, I thought it was elegant.Thanks for the help..-BB"Evertjan." wrote in messagenews:Xns93C7D810FC039eejj99@194.109.133.29...[color=blue]> Brian Burgess wrote on 29 jul 2003 in> microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.general:[color=green]> > Hey I got a cool way from Walter Zackery/Michael Harris in the VBScript> > group...> >> > For Count = 1 to 5> > Do> > If Count = 3 Then Exit Do> > MsgBox Count> > Exit Do:Loop> > Next> >> > Cool eh? a Do Loop wrapper ..[/color]>> Silly American word "cool", and wrong too:>> If Count=1 the do-loop will trigger indefinitly,> outputting messageboxes galore,> never even reaching count=2>> The "Exit do:" as a label is also nonsense,> "Exit do" does not even use/need a label.>> --> Evertjan.> The Netherlands.> (Please change the x'es to dots in my emailaddress)[/color]

Re: For Next iterations
I needed a way to immediately go to the next iteration of the For(based onan If clause) without exiting the For altogether.I have been able to use the MsgBox when the ASP writes out an HTML '/script'element by the way .. wanna see?-BB"Tom B" wrote in messagenews:O1x$FPgVDHA.2328@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl...[color=blue]> I'm sure I don't see the point.

Re: For Next iterations
I have shown in a previous message how/why this is working. But I have aquestion concerning MsgBox. In this case it is only demo code of course,but I do have some code that makes an HTML '/script' element which in turnuses MsgBox. Is this bad as well? And if so, why?Thanks..-BB"Dan Brussee" wrote in messagenews:MPG.19909958ff4cce4e9897b6@news-server.nc.rr.com...[color=blue]> In article <#DTZTjgVDHA.2224@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl>, Join Bytes!> says...[color=green]> > That's what I was thinking when I first saw it, but I think the colon is> > being used as a statement separator.> > as in> >> > For Count = 1 to 5> > Do> > If Count=3 then Exit Do> > MsgBox Count> > Exit Do> > Loop> > Next> >> > I think that's what they were going for.> >> > Furthermore, what's wrong with "cool?"

Re: For Next iterations
Ah cool!Yes understood. This is for PocketPC devices which ONLY have PocketIEpresently but only supports jscript (on the client). So MsgBox does notwork....
