Restart a loop

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by momolopu 34

Hello, is there any way to restart a loop? I mean you are for example in the middle of the loop and you want to go back to the beginning of the loop.

 

How could this be done? If you could put me some image please, I am very novice with this program.

 

Thank you very much for your time.

    Yes, you can create a label and put it right before the loop, then use Go to Label. You'd obviously need it in a conditional or some kind of indicator to restart the loop. And you'll also want to be careful with this, as it could create an infinite loop, like my example is below.

    Ryule beat me to this; this was going to be my recommendation as well.

     

    To prevent a runoff loop, set variable %LoopAttempt% to 0.  At the beginning of the loop, set variable %LoopAttempt% to %LoopAttempt + 1%.  Then have an If %LoopAttempt% > X (number of attempts you want), then "Exit Loop".  This will prevent a runoff and let you have control of how many loops it can attempt by simply defining X.

     

    Good luck!
