Vista Tutorial - How to terminate a "For Each" statement

09-22-2008

How do I exit a "For Each" statement once the value is found I was
searching for? I'm searching thru a group of folders for a particular
folder name. Once I find it I'd like to exit the search. Thanks

You exit a for statement with an exit for statement...

found = false
for each item in list
if item = "whatever" then
found = true
exit for
end if
next

if found then
wscript.echo "found it!"
else
wscript.echo "it's not there!"
end if

/Al
