Code Sample Example

This example shows how to break from a loop when a specific word, in this case ’Invoice,’ is found somewhere on the data

page.

define(&x,integer,1)

for(&x,1,1,&current.lpp)

if(pos('Invoice',@(&x,1,80))>0)

exit()

endif

endfor()

For… EndFor (procedure)

This command structure allows a series of nested commands to be repeated a specified number of times. Each for statement

must have a corresponding endfor statement in order for PlanetPress Talk to know which commands to include in the loop.

Note that you cannot increment the counter for a for() loop, inside the loop.

If you open a document created a with a version of PlanetPress earlier than 5.2.0, and if that document includes a for() loop

with an increment greater than 1, you will notice that the loop is executed one less time than with your older version software
