repeat untilrepeat until trueOrFalse statements end repeat
The statements in a repeat until structure repeat as long as the condition following the word until is false. HyperCard checks the condition before the first and any subsequent iterations of the loop. If HyperCard executes an exit repeat statement in the loop, it continues running the handler starting from the first statement after end repeat. If HyperCard executes a next repeat statement, it returns immediately to the beginning of the repeat loop. Demo Scripton mouseUp show bkgnd field "demo field" put return & " Point at the number to stop counting..." ¬ into bkgnd field "demo field" put 0 into theCount put space & space & theCount after bkgnd field "demo field" repeat until the mouseLoc is within "321,81,370,110" add 1 to theCount put theCount into last word of bkgnd field "demo field" if theCount = 100 then exit repeat -- just in case. end repeat wait 20 hide bkgnd field "demo field" put empty into bkgnd field "demo field" end mouseUp
