Topic: Repeat Lisp via Macro

[M-dub]

In a button used to call a lisp routine, is it not possible to have the routine repeat itself after it has been run once?  I thought I only had to throw an asterisk at the beginning of the macro ( *^C^C.... )

(It's been a while but....)
The ^C^C is the equivalent to CANCEL.  Try removing those and see if it sticks.

I know...
I did that and it thinks that the asterisk is part of the command.


I'm thinking that it would be easier to modify the lisp routine, itself to have it repeat.

I just wish I knew how to do that.  (hint hint hint)

What happens if you use ^C^C(while (not (C:lispName)))
or use ^C^C(while(C:lispName)) if the lisp returns a value.

You will need to escape to exit.

I usually just hit ENTER to repeat the command

Awesome.  

Thank-you Alan


(This was the request of someone else.  I'm fine with hitting Enter, Space, or right click. )

You're welcome.
Not sure if that's were Lee was intending the while to go.

[M-dub]

I think so, and I was actually coming back in to ask where to chuck it.

Not originally, but good clean solution Alan
