/for

Syntax

/for varname initial-value to|downto final-value [step interval]

/next varname

Description

This runs all commands between the /for line and the /next line, after which it increments/decrements the varname number (#1) by step number \(\#3\) (default is 1) before running through the commands again. It will keep doing this until the varname number equals #2. You can end a /for loop immediately with /break or try the next iteration with /continue.

Examples

Simplest

/declare varname int local
/for varname 1 to 5
    /echo ${varname}
/next varname


| Will output:
|  1
|  2
|  3
|  4
|  5

Using /continue

/declare varname int local
/for varname 1 to 5
   /if ({$varname} == 3) /continue
   /echo ${varname}
/next varname


| Will output:
|  1
|  2
|  4
|  5

Using /break

/declare varname int local
/for varname 1 to 5
    /if (${varname} == 3) /break
    /echo ${varname}
/next varname


| Will output:
|  1
|  2

With a pre-defined ending variable

/declare foo int local 5

/declare varname int local
/for varname 1 ${foo}
  /echo ${varname}
/next varname

| Will output:
|  1
|  2
|  3
|  4
|  5
