Firstly, as Alex said, when ever I type in a repeat, if, or switch I use
comments to tag the beginning, middle and end so I spend less time lost in
my scripts - I still get lost ;-(
I then just use 'tExitCheck' a numerical value to test to see which level
to exit out to; 0 = exit out of all repeat loops. In the message box:
put 0 into tCounter
put 5 into tExitCheck --initially set to run ALL repeats
repeat with a = 1 to 10 --repeat level 1 =10
repeat with b = 1 to 10 --repeat level 2 = 100
repeat with c = 1 to 10 --repeat level 3 = 1000
repeat with d = 1 to 10 --repeat level 4 = 10000
repeat with e = 1 to 10 --repeat level 5 = 100000
add 1 to tCounter
if ((a = 1) AND (b = 2) AND (c = 3) AND (d = 4) AND (e = 5)) then
--answer exit level
answer "Exit to Level" with "5" or "4" or "3" or "2" or "1" or
"0" titled "Exit Level"
put it into tExitCheck
end if --answer exit level
if tExitCheck < 5 then exit repeat --to level 4
end repeat --repeat level 5
if tExitCheck < 4 then exit repeat --to level 3
end repeat --repeat level 4
if tExitCheck < 3 then exit repeat --to level 2
end repeat --repeat level 3
if tExitCheck < 2 then exit repeat --to level 1
end repeat --repeat level 2
if tExitCheck < 1 then exit repeat --exit all repeat loops
end repeat --repeat level 1
put "I did " & tCounter & " repeats, " & (100000 - tCounter) & " less than
All." into msg
