Autoit is a very simple yet powerful tool to automate simple scripts.

Today, we are looking at LOOPS.

;loops
;lets declare a varible
$var = 1

;lets write an if statement
if $var = 1 then
MsgBox(6,"if Statement Message box","How does the message box look?")
endIf

This is the resulting message box:

; you can keep your if statement on the same one line without ending with an "endif" statment if there is only one message after the "then keyword"
;example, the code below is same as the one above

if $var = 1 then MsgBox(6,"if Statement Message box","How does the message box look?")

And the message box will be same as above

; DO LOOPS
; example lets do SOMETHING until a condition is met and then stop doing that tghint
;whiles our a condition is TRUE

$do_var = 3

do
MsgBox(3,"do loop title","do loops are awesome")
$do_var = $do_var - 1
Until $do_var = 1

The result of the DO LOOP

; WHILE LOOP
; Let's initialise a variable to 8
; whiles our variable is not equal to 8, lets create a message box and pop out some message
; and then decrement our variable down.
; as soon as our variable is now equal to 3 , the WHILE LOOP will break and we end the WHILE LOOP with "WEnd" keyword

$do_var = 8
while $do_var <> 3 ; whilst it is not equal to 3 , do the following.
MsgBox($do_var,"while loop title","while loops are awesome")
$do_var = $do_var - 1
WEnd

Result of WHILE LOOP

 

; FOR LOOP
; lets create a FOR LOOP and with a variable initialised to 4 .
; lets then step down in decrements of 1 to positive 1. hence we are counting down from 4 to 1.
;so as soon as we get to the figure we are stepping down to , which in this case is positive one, our statement will break and continue
;to the statement outside the FOR LOOP.

$for_var = 4
for $do_var = 4 to 1 step -1
MsgBox($for_var,"FOR loopS title",$for_var)
Next

Result of FOR LOOP

;this will run when the FOR LOOP is exited
MsgBox(0, "FOR LOOP COMPLETE" , "BLAST OFF")
