I have a while loop where i run a process until a condition its met. I want the loop to run until either my variable its false or if another variable contains a string. How can i do this in the condition of the while loop?

hi
cant you put in your activity in try catch , can manage through it

3

no because the rest of the workflow wont comp with it. Just need a singel line to check
“if var1 = true or if var2 do not contain a string”

You can simply add those conditions in your while loop, you can use the field as if it was an IF condition

5

yh know, but dont know the code for it

it keep looping even tho my var2 has a string

Hi,

Use the OR myString**.contains** See sample below:

crashing. Getting VisualBasicValue: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

you can write in the condition something like

var1=True OR var2 is not Empty

var1 being of type boolean, and var2 of type string

What is the type of your “var2” ? try to avoid using “generic”.
You have to be more specific if you want us to understand your problem, a “string” is a very elusive concept, as “123”;“hello”;“b” and even " " are strings.
what exactly contains your “var2”, and in which conditions do you want it to be considered as a string ?

SO_ROW_EXIST = true or M3_INSURANCE = “”

This one causes no crash but it keeps looping even tho my string its filled

The var 2 its a string and the var1 its a bool

12

use is not empty instead of “”

cant find the word empty ?

15

nothing* my bad, nothing not empty

16

for more reliability you can use String.IsNullOrEmpty(M3_INSURANCE) = true

is the string is null or empty, returns true, else, return false

getting error " is-operator do not accept operator of type int. operator must be referencetype or types that can have zerovalues.

My var1 its a bool tho so dont know what they mean

18

are you using an equal? the “is” replaces the “=” sign

19

this makes no crash but still makes the loop go on

using the Is
