Spin question

Anyway to do this:

···· if acknowledge
······· 'do this

Where acknowledge is the result of reading·status of ina[noparse][[/noparse]pin].
or:
···· repeat until done
······· 'do something else

Where done is the result of reading status of ina[noparse][[/noparse]pin].

I guess this would be like a macro and would make for easier to understand code.

Thanks,

You can just do "if ina[noparse][[/noparse]pin]" or "if ina[noparse][[/noparse]pin] == 1".

You can also declare a variable "acknowledge", do "acknowledge := ina[noparse][[/noparse]pin] == 1", then do "if acknowledge".

The case with the repeat is a little more difficult. If "done" is a complex condition, you could declare it as a method like:

pri done
   done := ina[noparse][[/noparse]pin] == 1

You could then do your "repeat until done".

Thanks for the ideas Mike. My question came up because of a repeat that has to execute as fast as possible, so I don't want to call a subroutine. I will just stick with:

repeat
if ina[noparse][[/noparse]pin] 'acknowledge
'do ......
or
if not ina[noparse][[/noparse]pin] 'not ready
'do ...

Thanks,
