QUESTION ABOUT COUNTER

[IncredibleVolk]

I have a loop that cycles through the same command 150 times. Is there a way I can increment the number of times the <TAB> key is entered (0x09) for each pass of the loop? In other words, I'd like it to start with 1 tab, then 2 tabs, and so on...

while Counter != 150
termvkey 0x09
pause 2
fetch aspect path pathname
strcat pathname filename2
snapshot FILE Name APPEND
strcat command pathname
run command
pause 3
Counter++
endwhile

Something like this should work:

for iTemp = 1 upto Counter
termvkey 0x09
endfor

You'll likely want to use the mspause command in there so it doesn't try to send all of the tabs at the same time.

That's not what I actually need. I need to select one-by-one from a list inside a terminal, clear the screen and then do it over again. The problem is that I need to increment the number of times I press the down arrow key (not the <TAB> that I mentioned) I need this all to repeat 150 times, but I need the down arrow to increment each time to ensure that I grab the next item in the list. This is pressing the down arrow 150 straight times. I need 1, loop, 2, loop, etc...


capture on
while Counter != 150
termvkey 0x7A ;F11 key
termvkey 0x0D ;Enter

pause 2
clear
for iCount = 0 upto 150
termvkey 0x28 ;down arrow
pause 1
endfor
termvkey 0x0D ;enter
pause 1
Counter ++
endwhile

capture off

Nevermind,

I realized I'm too dumb to understand what you were saying. This worked perfectly. Thanks yet again for your help.

capture on
while Counter != 150
termvkey 0x7A
pause 1
for iCount = 1 upto x
termvkey 0x828
pause 1
endfor
termvkey 0x0D
pause 2
clear
x++
Counter ++
endwhile
