Condition to check?

[timhatz]

Code: Select all

focus;
sel 1;
while(1==1) {
     sel +1;
  }

Is there a condition that can be checked, when the SEL +1; has reached the end of the list? Or do you have to know ho many items are in the list, and only process that many times?

Thanks, Tim

The current implementation is: when the end of the list is reached the last item is unselected, but the focus stays on it (focus must be on any item if there are items).

Which means you could do:

Code: Select all

focus;
sel 1;
while(Compare("<curitem>", "<focitem>") == 0) {
     sel +1;
}

It looks like you want to do something for every item currently visible, so an alternative is to use Report() or GetInfo(), and then GetToken() with a while loop that breaks when the token is empty.

BTW, CountToken() is on my list and will come soon...

The above while statement is what I was looking for.

Found this thread while searching for GetToken() with negative index
which would start the search from the end.

gettoken(string, [index=1], [delimiter=" "])
If index is negative, the returned token will be the part from the index'th token from the right till end of string.

Code: Select all

$path = "<curpath>"; 
     $parent = regexreplace($path, '^.+\\([^\\]+)$', '$1');
   //$grandparent = gettoken($path, -2, "\");
 msg $parent;
