Cancel Input Doesn't Cancel Macro?

[Dexter1]

The first thing my macro does is ask for Input> from the user. Hitting Cancel simply skips that step of the process, though. Can I get Cancel to end the macro?

[Me_again]

How about testing the variable returned by Input> and if it's blank then jump to the end of the macro like:

Input>mydata,Please input a value,
If>mydata=,finish,continue
Label>continue
MessageModal>%mydata%
//do other stuff
Label>finish
MessageModal>The End

If that idea won't work for you then please post your script.

Hmmm. Maybe I'm applying this incorrectly; I have never used Label before. There is more to my code than posted here, but it's just variations on the theme to handle the different check boxes.

Let's trace this out:

Input>Email, Enter Email Addresses
If>%Email%=,finish,continue
Label>Continue

Ok, if finish = continue it is easy to see what happens here. Now let's see what happens if finish is NOT continue:

Input>Email, Enter Email Addresses
If>%Email%=,finish,continue
//finish was not continue so we just carry on
Label>Continue
//now we are here
..
..

So whatever the value of finish you get the same outcome. You've said (if finish is continue jump to the next line, if it is not continue we just carry on, which is Label>Continue anyway). Scripts read one line at a time

This is what you really want:

If>%EMAIL%=finish
..
.. your code here
..
Endif

Or:

If>%EMAIL%=finish,continue
Goto>end
Label>continue

...
Label>end

Or:

If>%EMAIL%=finish,continue,end
Label>continue
..
.. your code
..
Label>end

Read it one line at a time. Read the logic. You can see the paths it leads depending on the value.

Marcus -- you've misread the code, there is a comma between %Email%= and finish.

Josh the problem is that labels are case sensitive. Your line:

If>%Email%=,finish,continue

Is looking for a label with all lower case characters. At the end of your script is the label Label>Finish with an upper case "F".

You have the same issue with the continue/Continue label.

Oops. Sorry, you're right. Oh well, hopefully my post helps by offering some other options anyway.
