I have the below code where there is two While statements the while statement for Input 2 gets looped and then macro gets done, without looping the the while statement for input 1 please advice in this

hi,
Code: 
    Input #1, En
    Input #2, Pa

    While EOF(1) = 0
    
        While EOF(2) = 0

Hi Skip

I am not able to interpret that in my code can you please do it for me and paste the code

1) you step on End_of_file!!! Don't use THAT! It is unnecessary and you use that variable improperly anyhow!

rather use EOF(1) & EOF(2) respectively in the While statement.

Do you see where your two loops exist? COPY the screen processing stuff inside your second loop and PASTE it where my comment 'do stuff on the screen here appears.

What does "DOES NOT WORK" mean?

1. Absolutely NOTHING happens? Everything compiled? No errors? No Output of any kind?

2. Some compile error or error message? If so what message on what statement?

3. Some output but not as expected? If so what output, where versus what was expected, where?

4. Something else?

Before you do all the screen manipulation, you need to make sure that your file manipulation and control works.

Check out the HELP on Debugging Macros. I'd strip out all the unnecessary code except for the basic conrol structrure for the file access and looping. Then step thru the code in order to observe what is happening and make adjustments accordingly if things do not happen as expected.

Hi
Yes I manipulated step by step, since it while within a while loop so I am stuck and I am not that good in programming concepts

can you tell me how to overcome that error

INPUT PAST END OF LINE NUMBER 66 and it does not loop the second while

ok its working but the problem is

close
Open "C:\Users\bzxllh\Desktop\New.txt" For Input As #1
Open "C:\Users\bzxllh\Desktop\Part.txt" For Input As #2

'Open "C:\Efiles\Delete\Out Delete.txt" For Output As #2
Input #1, Pa
Input #2, En

While EOF(1) = 0


While EOF(2) = 0

Sess0.Screen.MoveTo 3,14
Sess0.Screen.Sendkeys(Pa &"<Enter>")

Sess0.Screen.WaitHostQuiet(g_HostSettleTime)

Input #2, En
wend

Input #1, Pa
Wend

First the second While loop gets done but the last row does not gets accounted, once the second while is done it goes to first while loop , the first while executes but nothing happens in the screen , and finally macro is done

Hi Skip
the loop happens two times I want it to happen only once

Input #1
55236681
55242148
55242256

Input #2
14
13
12

from the Input #1 the part number 55236681 should get the value from Input #2 i,e 14, 13, 12 only once, but the part number 55236681 is getting the value from Input #2 only 14 & 13 that too two times and again the last row 12 is not recognised same for part numbers 55242148 & 55242256
