For loop, possible to increment counter/exit loop?

[Mike Scirocco]

I would like to know if it is possible to exit a For loop. I know
I can use a while loop but it would be nice to be able to
increment the loop counter in a for loop. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Mike

No sorry it is not possible.
If you need this kind of functionality you will have to use a while loop.
You can then setup all manner of conditions to exit the loop.
Be aware that the loop will always run at least ONCE.

A for loop will run X number of times. This is determined either
at compile time (if the count is hard coded) or at run time
(if you use auto-indexing, or the count is a variable).

Also remember you can make while loops auto index. Right pop on the tunnel
and enable this and the loop will then act more like a for loop.

Jim,

OK, that clears it up. Coming from VB I'm still figuring out the
differences.

Thanks,
