For Loop Action

For Loop Action indicates the start of an execution loop that repeats until the condition evaluates to false. It combines a condition check and a step expression that is evaluated at each iteration, making it suitable for counter-based or condition-driven loops.

warning

Never use this action without a corresponding Loop Next Action to close the loop.

Appearance

In Talos, For Loop Action appears as a hexagon node with a rotate icon.

tip

The condition is evaluated at the start of each iteration. The loop continues as long as the condition evaluates to true. When it evaluates to false, the loop terminates.

Examples

${index} < 10
${index} != ${maxIterations}
${list}.Length() > 0

Step ExpressionExpression

Sets the expression to be evaluated for each iteration of the loop.

Examples

${index} = ${index} + 1
${counter} = ${counter} - 1
