different loop depending on if statement

[freestyle]

the title probably doesnt describe what i want to do so here is what in theory i want.....

if (expression){

for loop{

}else{

different for loop{

}

my code

}

is this possible??? at the moment all my code is duplicated because it is in each section of the if statement

I think that what you mean is possible, but the way you post it is not. You have four opening curly braces, but only three closing. Post your code; it probably can be slightly redone to get rid of all or most of the repetition.

what you have said is correct, i have four opening braces but only 3 three closing braces.

I want a solution so only one of the for loops is recognised, giving me 3 opening and closing braces.

Sorry for being dense, but I'm not real sure what you want. Is this it:

if (expression) { 
    for loop {
        for loop code
    } 
} else { 
    different for loop { 
        different for loop code
    }
} 
my code (after if-else)

not sure if thats what i need, heres a rough example of my current code:

if (near end of table){

  loop until end of table{

my site code

  }

}else{

  loop for 5 times{

my site code

  }

}

As you can see "my site code" is having to be duplicated so i would prefer it if i could open one of the loops depending on the if statement and only run "my site code" once.

am not sure if it helps...

if (near end of table){

  loop until end of table{

duplicated_code()

  }

}else{

  loop for 5 times{

duplicated_code()

  }

}
function duplicated_code
{
     my site code
}

this case atleast u dont have to TYPE the code twice.
another option that comes to mind(but dont know how feasible)

if (near end of table){

   no_of_times=no of rows to end of table
}else{

  no_of_times=5
}
loop for no_of_times
{
    my site code
}

I'ts pretty much inpossible to say without seeing your code. If the different conditions require a lot of different variable insertions, maybe no. If they're largely the same, maybe yes. Often duplicate code can be started before the loops and finisihed after, with the variable insertion done inside the loops. If you don't want to post your code then you'll have to rely on vague answers.
