Morning Thom,
Since you have cautioned not to use the single step looping, I am doing it
in a procedure. Everything seems to work fine , but it always skips the
first time.
Pseudo code.
Sub LoopSteps(count)
For i=1 to count
If Rule("ti...@1,1&@4,10") Then
Enter D("1") '1717260
End If
...Some more Cursor and Title checking rules.
next
End Sub
Say in the above code if count is 3. None of the Rules condition are met
even though the Cursor condition meet on the first pass(count=1). The
Conditions seems to meet only on the second count(2) and that too if I run
in Debug step mode.
I put some wait to actually halt the script for a few seconds, but it does
not seem to work. Is there something to refresh the Row,Col so when the
code is switched between main Sub MyScript1 to other Sub routines?
Please let me know if I can send code in an attachment. or if can cut and
paste Rule in an email.
Please help, I spent all weekend trying to get hold of this,
Thank you for your time.

[talkbws] RE: Looping Steps
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 ???
