i haven't actually had the opportunity to test this yet.. but, i'm not sure if this would work as it is.. what i'm trying to do is loop search through a hash table to check for a match in one list, if a match is found then it gets skipped and logged in a custom window as being skipped in the custom window and stop. if no match is found then continue on to the next step in the loop which posts the results found...

the second step i'm not concerned about as i know it works.. i'm more interested in the first part list as skip in this example.. my use of the HALT command, i'm not sure if it's proper.

Code:
 :skip
    if ($hfind(skip,%name,1,W)) {  
      /window -zk0 @window | /aline -p @window $timestamp 4Skiped  ->3 %name 
      halt
    }
    else { goto blah }
    :blah
    if ($hfind(sometable,%name,1,W)) {  
      /window -zk0 @window | /aline -p @window $timestamp found 12[ $+ %source $+ 12 ->3 %name 1 in 7 %section
    "some commands here"
    }
    else { halt }
   :end


can anyone give me some info on this?... thank in advance
