^ Syntax | (enumWhile list condition itemVar exp) -> value |
^ Arguments | list: A list of elements you want to walk through. |
^ | condition: Stops enum if condition is Nil. |
^ | itemVar: Name of the variable that will be used to hold the current element you are at in the enum. Does not need to be defined beforehand. |
^ | exp: The expression you want to evaluate for each element in the list. The element will be available inside the expression under the name you used in `itemVar'. |
^ Returns | value: Whatever the last expression evaluated inside returns. |
^ Category | [[iteration functions|iteration]], [[list functions|list]] |
^ Description | A function allowing you to evaluate an expression using the variable to store the element you are at for every element in a list unless condition is Nil. |

Basically a enum with an if inside of it.

=== Example ===

<code lisp>(block (condition)
	(setq condition True)
	(enumwhile '(a b c d) condition theElement
		(block Nil
			(if (eq theElement 'b) (setq condition Nil))
			(dbgOutput theElement)
			)
		)
	)</code>

This will display on the debug console.

a \\
b \\
True \\
