Branch to action block for each list element

[jassing]

Suppose you have a list of phone numbers.
You want to send an sms msg only to numbers that have "55" in it...
How do I branch to an action block for each list element?

for ( number in numberlist ) {
if( contains(number, "55") ) {
// how to branch out to "Send SMS" action?
}
}

Thanks!

If you use for() loop, you can't. You must use while() or other if() version.

In this case, you don't have to break out the loop to the send SMS. You simply add all number which have "55" to a new list and then loop SMS to all the number.

Code: Select all

sendnum = newList();
for(number in numberlist)
{
  if(contains(number, "55")
    addElement(sendnum, number)
}

{sendnum} now contains all the number those have "55".

To loop send SMS to all of this, you can use action Send SMS + condition expression. Add a new line script in previous script

Code: Select all

index = 0;

At the action send SMS, use {sendnum[index]} as the number. Then next is expression

Code: Select all

index = index + 1;
index > length(sendnum);

false, loop back to Send SMS. This will now tell send SMS to send to the second number (and so on until finish). True, do nothing, essentially stopping the loop/flow.

Thanks. I started down that road, but thought there might be a better way.

Thanks! I appreciate the detailed response.
