if..then within do until...loop?

[yayawatson]

Is it possible to write a conditional statement within a do until loop?

umm.. yes

you can write as many conditional statements in as many loops as you like

that is until you get so deep in them you get all backwards and forget what you were trying to validate for.

_{$str = "sleep is good for you. sleep gives you the energy you need to function";
$Nstr = ereg_replace("sleep","coffee",$str); echo $Nstr;}

do
a=a+1
if a = 7 then
exit do
else
a = a * a
end if
until a >= 20

The reason I asked that is because I have a do until..loop where the conditional part of the loop doesn't work. Here is the code:

do until rs.eof
'Set the variables
iret = iim.iimSet("-var_case", rs.fields(0))
'Run the macro
iret = iim.iimPlay("pacersearch&quot
iret = iim.iimGetLastMessage()
if iret = "Chapter 13" then
iret = iim.iimPlay("pacercase&quot
Dim data1
Dim s
data1 = iim.iimGetLastMessage() s = data1
objOutputFile.WriteLine(s)
End If
rs.movenext
loop

Do you know why it won't work? Thanks!
