Nortel script help

[cog4030]

I built a very basic script to change the NCOS on phones.

;Recorded script. Editing may be required.
proc main
transmit "^M"
waitfor "TYPE: "
transmit "^M"
waitfor "TN "
waitfor "^M"
waitfor "ECHG "
transmit "yes^M"
waitfor "ITEM "
transmit "ncos 5^M"
waitfor "ITEM "
transmit "^M"
endproc

I need for the script to continually run. I now enter ALT . to restart the script. How do I enter that in the transmit statement ? transmit "ALT." doesn't work. Is there some other way?
TIA

You could put your code inside a loop.

Here's an example from aspects help file:

proc main
   integer Loops = 0             ; Integer used to count loops.

   while (Loops++) < 3           ; Loop and increment variable three
   endwhile                      ; times.
   usermsg "I looped %d times!" Loops
endproc

I added my script as shown:

;Recorded script. Editing may be required.
proc main
integer Loops = 0 ; Integer used to count loops.
transmit "^M"
waitfor "TYPE: "
transmit "^M"
waitfor "TN "
waitfor "^M"
waitfor "ECHG "
transmit "yes^M"
waitfor "ITEM "
transmit "ncos 6^M"
waitfor "ITEM "
transmit "^M"
while (Loops++) < 3 ; Loop and increment variable three
endwhile ; times.
usermsg "I looped %d times!" Loops
endproc

It did not rerun the script, but it did say it looped 4 times !!

KODR, when you mentioned loops, I got out the Aspect script language book and researched loops. Got it going!!
Thanks for pointing me in the loop direction!!

Look around this site, there is a lot of stuff geared towards phone systems. There also forums for various Nortel equipment on this site also.
