hello all

When i have it ask a user for input and if they hit the cancel button my program keeps running it don't stop what i'am doing wrong or missing

[Mac]

Try something like this:

but i don't have a evloop in my script

[Mac]

Well... the point is to check if you have user input or not,
you can do whatever ya want from there. If you insist
on getting user input, put a label above the @input() and
keep sending it back there...

[tim6389]

but the cancel button still don't work

[Mac]

C'mon Tim - what do ya want it to do if the user hits CANCEL?

[tim6389]

exit the script

sorry i should have said that

[Mac]

OK - my bad. Since ya have "User" as the default, ya gotta
check for that, as well as no value...

[tim6389]

hummm unless i'am missing something here Cancel still does not exit the script

[Mac]

OK - check the example again, I edited it right after I posted it.

If this is in a subroutine, you'll have to use "goto CLOSE" or
something. You should always have a CLOSE label - this is what
Windows looks for to close the program at shutdown, etc.

Cheers, Mac

question when someone enter a name into the text box but the next question they are asked to enter a file name how can one check to make sure the file ext is enter in the text box to and if they don't enter the file ext have vds added it..can this be done?

[Dr. Dread]

Sure thing.

You have your filename in a variable, so you just evaluate the filename to check if it matches your
requirements:

For example (filename in variable %%file):
