else

Good-bye

…or more elegantly by using the
elseif
command:
if $a==1
type
"
Hello
"
elseif $a==5
type
"
Good-bye
"
else
type
"
Wish you were here
"
end
Notice how indentation makes conditional statements easier to read. Indenting the
commands between
if
and its corresponding
end
is a good practice.
Loop commands instruct Deko500 to execute a series of commands multiple times.
Loop commands include
loop
,
while
and
for
.
The easiest way to define a loop is to use the
loop
command and specify the number
of iterations:
loop [count=]
# commands
end
The macro executes the command sequence between
loop
and
end
the number of
times specified by the
count
parameter. After the loop, the macro continues with the
first command after
end
.
If you do not supply a count, the loop will go on forever or until you cancel macro
playback or use a conditional statement to end the loop.
The following macro types “hello” five times, then breaks out of the loop:
$a=1
loop
type
"
hello
"
;newline
$a = $a+=1
if $a>5
break
end
end
You also can break out of a loop with the
continue
command, which restarts a
loop at the top without executing commands after
continue
.
