[Resolved] Is there a [goto] function in vbscript?

[ajames]

is there a way of using 'goto' in vbscript?

[Disiance]

The only Goto supported in VBScript is with error handling:

On Error Goto 1

[ajames]

so is there any way of getting Call...Sub?

[Disiance]

what do you mean?

[ajames]

for example:

if cheese = 0 then call bob
sub bob
msgBox "hello"

I'm not aware of a goto function but you can call subroutines and functions:

Sub MySub
'Do stuff here
End Sub

Call MySub

[Woooooot!]

In short, no. GoTo exists, but it cannot be used like this:

START:

GoTo START

It's use in VBScript is limited to error handling. Error handling is 'turned on' like this:

On Error Resume Next

(This has nothing to do with the For ... Next loop by the way). And turned off like this:

On Error GoTo 0

That's it. As you may know, the GoTo keyword is not required and all things that can be programmed with it can be programmed without it. Personally I think the option should be there for those of us who understand its uses and are intelligent enough not to create spaghetti code, but there we are.
