No, what I do, is write my own BottomEdgeEvent, in my own script file.
I then declar a global int which is set to 0 before I start the loop.
My BottomEdgeEvent function sets it to 1.
My loop terminates when that global int becomes 1.
However, as you know, lops are dangerous things if not coded correctly. If
they never terminate, you'll be forced to reset your computer.
Since the jaws script engine seems to be single threaded, and will not run
an event as long as a script is running, that bottom edge event will
probably not run while your loop is running, unless you include a pause()
statement somewhere in the body of the loop.
That will slow it down, but it will allow the bottom edge event to run when
it needs to.
Just to be sure, put a safety counter inside your loop, to terminate it if
things get out of hand.

Dear Jim,
Thank you for your swift response.
I want to find a function which helps to evaluate whether the last line of a
file has been reached or not. If the result is true, the while loop in my
script will be terminated.
Howver, your suggested BottomEdgeEvent is a void function. Can you suggest
another function?
Thanks!
KL
