RoboTask forum

This is probably an easy one for you techies, so it shouldnt take you too long to answer these questions.  I am running a task that prompts the user for several inputs. If "ok" is clicked, then it moves along.  I would like to be able to end the task when "cancel" is clicked at any of the various input screens.  How do I accomplish this?  I'm thinking the While statement but havent figured out how to properly use it.  Please help.
 

Look at the example below. Probably this is that you want

Ok this gives me a better understanding on how to use the while statement.  In your example though, it only contains one variable, therefore when cancel is pressed, lastinput will be defined as "none" and the program will stop.  In my task, I have at least 50 user variables, does this mean I have to create a while statement for each input?  Maybe I'm missing something with the task you sent me and it does encompass my entire task.  I dont understand, please help.

While loop must contain the comparison (like in "If..then" action). You can compare two values (first operand and second operand).
The loop is working while the comparison returns TRUE.

If comparison returns FALSE the loop terminates.
