It seems like more often than not I want to test for the Not of a condition.

For example say I want to do something when x does not equal 5.

I'd do

If
Wait for var x = 5
else
stuff to do here
end if

Is there a way to make the test do the opposite so the code wouldn't use else and would be more understandable?

I might be overthinking this, but you could do something like "Set var N = (x-5)*(x-5); Wait until var N greater than 0)" (N is 0 only when x is 5) As long as you don't mind the additional variable in script, that should serve you fine.

thx mxv,

This is no big deal since I can always just use the ELSE clause. I was just wondering if there was some trick to change the IF to being !IF or something.
