Is there a way to abort a script, within the script itself ?

Hi, me again!

I am trying to make the scritp to exit on error. What is the best way to do that from inside the script ?

I tried to send CTRL-B or SHIFT-ESC but my test app does not respond to thoses.

I am trying to do something like:

If>{%WW_RESULT%="FALSE"}
Exit
Else
MessageModal>All is good. Continue.
EndIf

OR

If>{%WW_RESULT%="FALSE"}
Goto>EndLabel
Else
MessageModal>All is good. Continue.
EndIf

Label>EndLabel
bla bla

The problem for the 2nd case is that if all is good, the script will also execute the 'Label' code just because it is following the EndIf.

What is the best/easiest way to exit internally ?

Thanks!

So why not:

If>{%WW_RESULT%="FALSE"}
Goto>EndLabel
Else
MessageModal>All is good. Continue.
EndIf

Goto>EndScript
Label>EndLabel
bla bla

//very end of script
Label>EndScript

keep it simple whenever possible. No need for the brackets {} in this case.

If>WW_RESULT=False
goto>EndProgram
else
goto>WhatIsNext
endif

label>WhatIsNext
.....

label>EndProgram
mdl>All done

Also, if you want to break execution of the program you might try adding an On_Event for a specific keystroke combination.
