Hey M, to stop the execution of a for loop all you have to do is check for a condition then use break
for example PUBLIC SUB FCopy() DIM i AS Integer Dim stopLoop as Boolean DIM filepaths AS String[] ........................' the array filepaths is filled with contents FOR i=0 To filepaths.Count-1 if stopLoop = False THEN SHELL "cp -f " & filepaths[i] & " /home/destination" Else BREAK ENDIF NEXT I hope this helps Regards, Dimitris On Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 3:41 AM, M.
