How to loop in Sikuli so that it keeps on typing for n number of times.

Python loop constructs:

--1. while <some condition>:

--2. for entry in entries:

the statements inside the loop have to be indented properly.

examples:

# loops forever
while True:

you have to use a break somewhere inside the loop to end it
if not exists(img, 0): break
would end the loop, if img is not longer visible

# loops as long as condition is true (image is found)
while exists(img, 0):
   click getLastMatch()
   type("some text"+Key.ENTER)
   wait(3

# loops n times
for n in range(10) # 10 times, n will be 0 to 9

# loop through a list
myListFixed = (item1, item2, item3, item4)
for entry in myListFixed:
   print entry
   while not exists(img, 0): wait(1)
   click getLastMatch()
   type(e+Key.ENTER)
   wait(3)

This question seems to be a FAQ. Raiman, can you put this into a FAQ in the documentation?
Thanks.

Hi Sean,

yes we can ;-)

I will boost it up a little bit.
