Need help with a loop!

[TheDoctor]

Hi,

I need help existing this loop. The below code works as I want but I can't get it to exit. What I need to happen is when " Redisplay ? (Y/<N>) :" is received from the host it needs to exit. I can't figure out how to turn the host string into a variable so I can set the loop to exit when it becomes false, or true. Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA!

Do
.StatusBar = "Waiting for Prompt: CONTINUE ? (<Y>/N)"
.WaitForString LF & "CONTINUE ? (<Y>/N) ", NEVER_TIME_OUT_
, rcAllowKeystrokes
.StatusBar = ""
.Transmit CR
Loop

To exit a loop you could either:

Do While Condition = True

OR

Loop While Condition = True

Or

Do
If condition = True Then Exit Do
Loop

Hope that helped!

The problem I'm having is setting up the condition. I can't figure out how to define the data received from the host as a condition that can be evaluated. Thanks.

hmm.. what control are you using?

Hehe, double hmmmm... the host i'm interacting with sends a line feed infront of everything. if that's not what your referring too i'm lost. i'm using a vt420 emulation app that uses vb for scripting purposes. i'm new to vb but i understand the do..loop, if..then, etc syntax. thanks.
