Macro Sheduler bug

[rblack]

hi, i have the following code to delete all older bmp files than 7 days,

//==========
GetFileList>C:\*.bmp,files
Separate>files,;,file_names
if>FILE_NAMES_COUNT>0
Let>k=0
Repeat>k
Let>k=k+1
IfFileChanged>file_names_%k%,>7
//delete the file
//MessageModal>file_names_%k%
DeleteFile>file_names_%k%
EndIf
Until>k,file_names_count
EndIf
//=============

but there is a bug in Macro Sheduler 11 which i own - when there are no older files, and FILE_NAMES_COUNT=0, on the if> condition it goes to the line Until> and then to Repeat, and it makes an everlasting loop.

It should go to the last line of code - EndIf

i found a solution - you need to add a single line of commented code after the "until" function, so the end looks like this:

Until>k,file_names_count
//
EndIF

This is a bug with IfFileChanged, incorrectly causing the outer If to jump to the IfFileChanged's EndIf statement. The bug is not present in v12.

The bug in v11 is only when using IfFileChanged with else/endif. If using labels it works fine. So the correct workaround is as follows:

Code: Select all

//==========
GetFileList>C:\*.bmp,files
Separate>files,;,file_names
if>FILE_NAMES_COUNT>0
  Let>k=0
  Repeat>k
    Let>k=k+1
    IfFileChanged>file_names_%k%,>7,lbFCTrue,lbFCFalse
    Label>lbFCTrue
      //delete the file
      //MessageModal>file_names_%k%
      DeleteFile>file_names_%k%
    Label>lbFCFalse
  Until>k,file_names_count
EndIf
//=============
