yes, so there are various tricks, mainly the "repeat 1" trick and the "error "next repeat" " trick:

----
repeat -- your loop
repeat 1 times
-- blah blah
-- when you want "next repeat" you do:
if [ whatever ] then exit repeat
end repeat
end repeat
----
repeat -- your loop
try
-- blah blah
-- when you want "next repeat" you do:
if [ whatever ] then error "next repeat"
on error "next repeat" -- will selectively trap that error, other errors will propagate
end try
end repeat
----

It appears that AS does not have this operator. See the bottom of this article.

I've RTFM but didn't see an option to perform a "next repeat" in AppleScript.


Is that option not available in AS or am I missing something painfully obvious?


Alllllsoo, I just did a test with one of my xCode apps that wraps and runs an AS, to check and see if a Mac would run it as a standalone process through Fast User Switching when the user is logged in but not the front user.


It works.

In case anyone finds this interesting, now you know.

Cheers,
