exit repeat and nested repeats

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Andrew,

You can use a variable if you want to exit all repeat loops:

          repeat for each key sKey in sData
             repeat for each key sKey2 in sData[sKey]
                put true into myExitAll
                exit repeat
             end repeat
             if myExitAll then
               exit repeat
             end if
          end repeat

Or use a separate handler:

on twoRepeatLoops
     repeat for each key sKey in sData
         repeat for each key sKey2 in sData[sKey]
            exit twoRepeatLoops
         end repeat
     end repeat
end twoRepeatLoops
