VBS for next loop

[Wombaticus]

Well try setting the "step" to just 1 rather than 1.0 Presumably you have defined that as an Integer? And you can remove the final i after Next.

i just ignor the step, it doesnt matter if it says "step 1" or nothing, 1 is the default value

[Wombaticus]

So now you're saying

For i = 0 To 20

Next i

is giving you an error? I don't think so... unless you have not defined the variable i at all.

Look at the Next statement, it does not use the variable name.

[User 11883281]

This:

Dim i as Integer
for i = 0 To 20
' MsgBox "Blubb" & i & "bla"
' ticketno = Replace(ticketno,"("& i & ")","")
Next

or this

Dim i
for i = 0 To 20
' MsgBox "Blubb" & i & "bla"
' ticketno = Replace(ticketno,"("& i & ")","")
Next

is showing the error

[User 11883281]

oh thankyou but that wasnt the error at all

[Wombaticus]

Well, the first will - you don't DIM variables with the As [type] in VBS. You could try

Dim i%

but other than that, and capitalizing the F in for, which shouldn't really be necessary, I really find it hard to believe that this is where the error really lies. You need to pin down the exact line.....

No "i" after "next".

For i = 0 To 10 Step 1
MsgBox "Blubb" & i & "bla"
Next

works for me :)

The key point you are missing here is that it is not actually the same error! If I paste your original code into t1.vbs I get the following error

C:\Temp\t1.vbs**(3, 6)** Microsoft VBScript compilation error: Expected end of statement

Removing the i after the Next fixes that problem (as suggested by @Wombaticus) If I do the same thing with your first block of code above I get

C:\Temp\t1.vbs**(1, 7)** Microsoft VBScript compilation error: Expected end of statement

...getting rid of the as Integer fixes that one (as suggested by @Wombaticus) Your second block of code above does not produce anything - neither error nor output. If you were getting an error there are you sure you remembered to save the changes in your editor before attempting to run the script file? We've all done that a few times :laugh: However, to get to the point ... See those numbers in brackets in my error messages above that are in bold? They indicate the ROW and COLUMN that the error occurs in - so the error moved from line 3 in the first example to line 1 in the second. Much easier to find the problem when you know that little bit of extra infomation

[Lost User]

Yes it was. When I removed the i from the Next statement it worked correctly. I can only assume you are doing something different to what you posted.

Thank you very much.... i don't even know what the error was. I had to restart the server, and now it works without doing anything :D but thank you :D
