How to dial only a certain number of times

[ppeel]

I have a simple script that dials a number until it gets a connection. I want to limit the number of times it tries to connect. How do I do that?

Current code:

Dial DATA "XXXXXX"
while $DIALING ; Loop while dialing.
endwhile

if $connectopen ; See if we're connected.
DownloadFiles() ; Goto downloadfiles proc

Here's one way to do it:

for iLoop = 1 upto X
Dial DATA "XXXXXX"
while $DIALING ; Loop while dialing.
yield
endwhile

if $connectopen ; See if we're connected.
DownloadFiles() ; Goto downloadfiles proc
exitfor
endif
endfor

You would need to change X to the number of times you want the script to try to dial and also define an integer variable called iLoop.
