If I uncomment the repeat, the “Sorry, username already in use…" message does not get triggered. It just activates the script following the “else” statement when using a duplicate username.
The only time it works is if it is the first username in my csv text list is entered into the field to create an account. In this case John Patten is the first user name listed in my CSV text file and when I enter it to create a new account, it tells me it is already being used. However if I put in the second, third, etc. username, it will not give me the correct message and drops down below my “else” and runs that script. I’m wondering if I should just repeat for number of lines in csv file, check line 1 username, and then delete the line, and repeat..., etc. until it goes through list with no matching username, or finds a match and reports back the duplicate username message. It seems like it should work just going through the if-then repeat loop, but if it only works with items in the first line of the csv text file, I could just make each item in my list the first line… Thank you!
