Description
- condition is a numeric expression used to determine if the loop will execute.

- EXIT WHILE can be used for emergency exits from the loop in QB64 only.
- A DO...LOOP can use the same DO WHILE condition to get the same results.
- WHILE loops only run if the WHILE condition is True.
Examples
Example 1: Reading an entire file. Example assumes the program has a file opened as #1
OPEN "Readme.txt" FOR INPUT AS #1 WHILE NOT EOF(1) _LIMIT 1 'limit line prints to one per second LINE INPUT #1, text$ IF INKEY$ = CHR$(27) THEN EXIT WHILE 'ESC key exits PRINT text$ WEND |
Example 2: Clearing the keyboard buffer.
WHILE INKEY$ <> "" : WEND |
