Hi there

I'm running a loop however it does not exit the loop when the condition is met.
I'm looping through a list of items using a for loop and using Exit to exit the loop inside a case statement, it however runs and runs all the toasts.

Line 145 below.

B4X:
// [120] Sub ProcessCode()
    this.processcode = function () {
        if (self == null) self = this;
        var _scode;
        var _splines;
        var _linecnt;
        var _linetot;
        var _strline;
        var _strprefix;
        // [122]  Dim scode As String = Page.GetText(sc.GetRC(2,1))
        _scode = self._page.gettext(self._sc.getrc(2, 1));
        // [123]  scode = scode.trim
        _scode = _scode.trim();
        // [124]  If scode = {135} Then
        if (_scode == "") {
            // [125]  App.ToastError( {136} )
            self._app.toasterror("You need to paste / write some scripts here...");
            // [126]  Page.SetFocusDiv(sc.GetRC(2,1))
            self._page.setfocusdiv(self._sc.getrc(2, 1));
            // [127]  Return
            return;
            // [128]  End If
        }
        // [130]  Dim spLines As List = App.StrParse( {137} ,scode)
        _splines = self._app.strparse(";", _scode);
        // [132]  Dim lineCnt As Int
        _linecnt = 0;
        // [133]  Dim lineTot As Int = spLines.Size - 1
        _linetot = _splines.length - 1;
        // [134]  For lineCnt = 0 To lineTot
        for (_linecnt = 0; _linecnt <= _linetot; _linecnt++) {
            // [135]  Dim strLine As String = spLines.Get(lineCnt)
            _strline = _splines[_linecnt];
            // [136]  Dim strPrefix As String = App.MvField(strLine,1, {138} )
            _strprefix = self._app.mvfield(_strline, 1, ".");
            // [137]  Select Case strPrefix
            switch ("" + _strprefix) {
                // [138]  Case {139}
                case "" + "circle":
                    // [139]  Case {140}
                    break;
                case "" + "decision":
                    // [140]  Case {141}
                    break;
                case "" + "process":
                    // [141]  Case {142}
                    break;
                case "" + "oval":
                    // [142]  Case {143}
                    break;
                case "" + "rect":
                    // [143]  Case Else
                    break;
                default:
                    // [144]  App.ToastError( {4} )
                    self._app.toasterror("There is an error around line " + _linecnt + " of the code flow, invalid prefix " + _strprefix + "");
                    // [145]  Exit
                    break;
                    // [146]  End Select
                    break;
            }
            // [147]  Next
        }
        // End Sub
    };

i never used BANano
the normal docu said
Note that Exit inside a Select block will exit the Select block.
if so i think you need a flag and a exit condition in the for next scope.
