Description

Use the until keyword to repeat a sequence of statements until a condition becomes true.

LiveCode evaluates the condition each time the loop repeats, at the top of the loop (before the statements in the repeat control structure|structure are executed). If the condition is true, the loop is skipped and execution resumes with the statement after the end repeat statement.

If the condition is already true when LiveCode reaches the repeat statement, the loop is not executed at all.
