Goto
Jumps to the specified label and continues execution.
Goto Label
Command Example: Goto "MyLabel" Function Example: Goto("MyLabel")
Parameters
- Label
The name of the label to which to jump.
Remarks
Label can be a variable or expression only if parentheses are used. For example, Goto MyLabel
and Gosub("MyLabel")
both jump to MyLabel:
.
Performance is slightly reduced when using a dynamic label (that is, a variable or expression which returns a label name) because the target label must be "looked up" each time rather than only once when the script is first loaded. An error dialog will be displayed if the label does not exist. To avoid this, call IsLabel() beforehand. For example:
if IsLabel(VarContainingLabelName) Goto(VarContainingLabelName)
The use of Goto is discouraged because it generally makes scripts less readable and harder to maintain. Consider using Else, Blocks, Break, and Continue as substitutes for Goto.
