How to stop execution of script?

[bjorke]

Hi !!!

I have MEL script w/ big time of execution w/ internal loop. And I want to stop exec. of this script by keypress or mouse click on button..

My var. w/ flag and mouse click on a button don't work because I can't to press button on my GUI so far as scripts not end exec. (I tried cursorwait but it is was unuseful for me .... )

Any suggestion ???

I'm not %100 certain but I don't think you can stop a MEL script. I suppose if you wanted you could put a routine in there that would popup a window after it's been running for so many cycles and then you click okay to proceed or exit.
If you are trying to kill a runaway script there may not be a way at all.

Yes, it's possible in plugin to check if ESC key was pressed and then return the value out whether it was pressed or not.

Hello,

you can take a look at:

This is the way that I usually do to make may loops and script interuptable.

I know about trick w/ file deleting or present... I did it by to ways by pass some comand in mel "system(xxx) " or by mel "file -ex " but I think it is unpretty for "normal" user.. "Normal" user want to hit "esc" buttom....

Any suggestion about wanted plugin ????

And now vioala !!! I released my new scripts
Archived Rib Output v1.5. w/ some new feachers and interrupt by key ..

Very big thanks to Rok Andic for good plug-in KeyInterrupt v.1.0

Some suggestion to Rok:

1. Please doit Irix ver. of this tool !!
2. And please use release ver. because I think you put to Highend debug ver.
3. Try use zip arc. when you put tools to Highend

Once again big thanks to You !!!
