Possible to have if statement inside command

[Johntosh]

Is it possible to place an IF statement inside a COMMAND?

 

I am compiling a block and I would like it to redefine the block when necessary.

 

(command "_.BLOCK" "BLOCK_NAME"

** line hypothetical (if block exist then redefine = y) **

0,0

sset

""

)

Put your if statement prior

(if (tblsearch "block" "blockname")
 (then do this); if the block exists
 (else do this));if the block doesn't exist

Johntosh,

 

For the scenario you are working with, check out the sysvar EXPERT. Setting it to 5 will bypass the redefine question.

 

[b][color=BLACK]([/color][/b]setq oldexp [b][color=FUCHSIA]([/color][/b]getvar [color=#2f4f4f]"EXPERT"[/color][b][color=FUCHSIA])[/color][/b][b][color=BLACK])[/color][/b]
[b][color=BLACK]([/color][/b]setvar [color=#2f4f4f]"EXPERT"[/color] 5[b][color=BLACK])[/color][/b]

[color=#8b4513];;;DO YOUR THING HERE[/color]

[b][color=BLACK]([/color][/b]setvar [color=#2f4f4f]"EXPERT"[/color] oldexp[b][color=BLACK])[/color][/b]

 

It is possible to do it inside the ( command ), but I would not recommend it. -David
