How Stop an infinite loop?

Code: Select all

WHILE("TRUE")
        $result=GETFILE("*.*")
        IF($result!="OK")
                PRINT("ERROR in GetFile, exiting")
                # Exit with error code 1
                EXIT(1)
        ELSE
                PRINT("All files downloaded. Waiting 2 seconds")
                SLEEP(2)
    
        END IF
        DELETEFILE("*.*")
END WHILE

Hi,

Try:

Code: Select all

$blnLoop=="TRUE"
WHILE($blnLoop=="TRUE")
    Â $result=GETFILE("*.*")
    Â IF($result!="OK")
            PRINT("ERROR in GetFile, exiting")
            # Exit with error code 1
            EXIT(1)
      ELSE
            PRINT("All files downloaded. Waiting 2 seconds")
            SLEEP(2)
      END IF

      $delresult=DELETEFILE("*.*")
      IF($result!="OK")
          Â $blnLoop="FALSE"
      END IF
END WHILE

If I'm following what you are trying to do properly that should change the conditional for the loop so that it stops executing.

Good luck -
