Greetings,
I always like a challenge - I can do this in one step (although I am
cheating by co-opting a previous step for setting the counter flag) so I
guess it really is two..
Here's what I am doing:
Step Do Stuff
Rule #1 - when on screen and f("Count") does not = 9
Read Row F("Count")
Set F("Count")=F("Count") +1
Rule ""
Rule #2 - when on screen and f("Count") does = 9
Goto Step Exit Loop
The trick I am using to keep Step Do Stuff "looping" is the Rule ""
command in Rule #1.
PLEASE, PLEASE use this trick sparingly and only if you know exactly why
you're doing it.
The Rule command has logic to store what it last evaluated as True. So
it's behavior when executed is:
"If the condition is true, I will say it is true but if you ask me about
the same condition again and I said it was true last time, I'll say
it's False."
This is very, very important behavior, and a behavior you typically do
not want to override like I am doing here. However, my case here - I
used the override because I needed it to say True for the same
condition again.
The 3 steps example does not need to do this override trick, because
another Rule, is the count <> or =, is true.

The below could be copied to the clipboard and "pasted" into a script
using the Paste Rules Script - please do this in a new Project.
Step|Connect|
Rule||
Shell_ """C:\Bss70\HIS Demo\DemoHIS.exe"""
Activate "DemoHIS", True
Connect "DemoHIS", stStream
f("Count")=4
Step|Do Stuff|
Rule|MAIN m...@1,12&@1,22&!f("count")=9|Do Stuff
F("data") =View(Row:=f("Count"), Col:=10, Length:=21) 'Patient
Data
msgbox f("Data")
Rule ""
f("Count")=F("Count")+1
Rule|MAIN m...@1,12&@1,22&f("count")=9|Exit Loop
Step|Exit Loop|

Subject: [talkbws] RE: Looping Steps
If you want to loop steps it takes three (well it does for me)
Step 1
Set or define i as a flag...go to step 2
Step 2
Start the incrementing of the i flag
i = i +1 ...go to step 3
Step 3
Check flag
If i <> 5 ....go to step 2
If i = 5 ...go to step ???
