Repeat command until find an image.

[marares]

I'll begin with a sorry because probably I would post into a beginners section inside this beginners section if there was one.

I'd like for MacroScheduler to keep sending a command until it finds an certain image.

I really looked for it, but since I'm not a programmer, my mind won't make me go to the right places.

Could anyone help me?

Thanks.

Just came across this ... does this give you an idea?

Thanks, Meryl. I think that's not it.

My newbie research makes me stumble upon the repeat and until commands.

But I don't understand how to use them.

I feel that what I want to do is pretty simple but i can't do even that

Hi,

If you are new to looping I would recommend this article:
http://help.mjtnet.com/article/144-how-to-loop-the-loop

I'm assuming by "find an image" you are using the FindImagePos function. This returns the number of images found. We'll use NumFound for that. So you would want to Repeat, Until NumFound is greater than zero. See, when you say it like that it's just plain English.

Code: Select all

Let>numFound=0
Repeat>NumFound
  FindImagePos>%BMP_DIR%\image_1.bmp,SCREEN,0.7,1,XArr,YArr,NumFound,CCOEFF
Until>NumFound>0

Or you could use a While loop which says While NumFound is zero, keep looking.

Code: Select all

Let>NumFound=0
While>NumFound=0
  FindImagePos>%BMP_DIR%\image_1.bmp,SCREEN,0.7,1,XArr,YArr,NumFound,CCOEFF
EndWhile

Thanks, Marcus.
I gave it a look and i think that might be it.
Thanks a lot!
