until

Type

keyword

Summary

Used with the repeat control structure to specify that the loop is to repeat until the specified conndition becomes true.

Syntax

until

Description

Use the until keyword to repeat a sequence of statements until a condition becomes true.

LiveCode evaluates the condition each time the loop repeats, at the top of the loop (before the statements in the repeat structure are executed). If the condition is true, the loop is skipped and execution resumes with the statement after the end repeat statement.

If the condition is already true when LiveCode reaches the repeat statement, the loop is not executed at all.

Examples
