Are these statements valid for detecting end of a list?

[Sanjeev 46]

if($comparison($list position(%testList), "=", $list total(%testList))) {
    then {
        set list position(%testList, 0)

-----------

if($comparison($list position(%testList), ">=", $list total(%testList))) {
    then {
        set list position(%testList, 0)

 

 

 

Thanks.

if comparison ( list total + 1 > list total)

then set list position 0

else

nothing

I am sorry . I'm  just a dumb  newbie here. I would really appreciate it  if you could explain how and why this works...?]

do you mean -  list position+1 > list total?

I find that at end of a list ->  list position = list total

That is why I had enquired about the above statements in the OP.

In this case if list total = say 10, then, when end of list is reached - list pos. would also = 10.

hence,in your code   - we are checking 10+1 > 10?

In the same vein I had also thought of checking - if list position = list total?

 

Thanks

This gives you a better full example

 

clear list(%list)
add list to list(%list, $list from text("link
link0
link2
link3", $new line), "Delete", "Global")
loop(1000000) {
    if($comparison($add($list position(%list), 1), ">", $list total(%list))) {
        then {
            set list position(%list, 0)
        }
        else {
        }
    }
    navigate($next list item(%list), "Wait")
}

 

 

this is only reliant if your looping over a list a number of times larger then list total.

 

Otherwise there is no reason to set the list position back to 0

Thanks for for such a detailed reply. I really appreciate it!
