Synopsis

exit

Description

exit will stop the execution of the current script. If it's called from inside a script that was called using call it will resume execution from the line under the call statement. If the exit is used from the main script, the script will start over.

Example

event macro 1 0 %pet %command
if %pet = all
	exit
event macro 1 0 %pet follow me


EDIT on 23 jan 2008: As you can see, when calling a file (with the call command), there is no possibility to return a value with exit as you would do when returning from a subroutine.

Here's a way to get around this "problem":

calling file

set %a 0
call a.txt ;You may need to ajust the path here
display ok a = %a
halt

called file (a.txt)

set %a Hello,_I_am_the_variable_%a_set_in_a.txt
exit

Flow Control

  • Flow control commands allow scripts to make decisions based on the evaluation of boolean expressions.
break Jumps to first statement outside of loop
call Transfers execution to another script file
continue Jumps execution of a loop to next iteration
exit Exits a called script
for Creates a counting loop
gosub Transfers execution to the matching sub
goto Jumps to another part of the script given by a label
halt Stops the script
if Executes code based on the evaluation of an expression
pause Temporarily stops the execution of the current script
repeat..until Creates a loop that checks condition after execution
return Returns from a sub
stop Ends the script
while Creates a loop that checks condition before execution
