    Unhappy Help with Custom Script Engine

    Hey everyone. I have a module which parses a script and does the according actions,
    Code:
    Sub ExecuteScript(ByVal script As String)
    On Error Resume Next
    Dim LineArray, CurrentLine, LineSplit, LCommand As String, LArgs, FSO As FileSystemObject
    LineArray = Split(script, ";;")
    For x = LBound(LineArray) To UBound(LineArray)
    line:
    CurrentLine = LineArray(x)
    LineSplit = Split(CurrentLine, ".:", 2)
    LCommand = LineSplit(0)
    LArgs = Split(LineSplit(1), ",,")
    If LCase(LCommand) = "showmessage" Then MsgBox LArgs(0), vbInformation, "Script says..."
    If LCase(LCommand) = "map" Then modDM.MountVD LArgs(0) + ":", LArgs(1)
    If LCase(LCommand) = "unmap" Then modDM.UnMountVirtualDrive LArgs(0) + ":"
    If LCase(LCommand) = "write" Then writes LArgs(0), LArgs(1)
    If LCase(LCommand) = "append" Then appends LArgs(0), LArgs(1)
    If LCase(LCommand) = "copyfile" Then FileCopy LArgs(0), LArgs(1)
    If LCase(LCommand) = "delete" Then Kill LArgs(0)
    
    If LCase(LCommand) = "gotoiffileexist" And FSO.FileExists(LArgs(0)) Then
    x = CLng(LArgs(1))
    If LCase(LCommand) = "gotoiffileexist" And FSO.FileExists(LArgs(0)) Then GoTo line
    End If
    
    If LCase(LCommand) = "gotoiffolderexist" And FSO.FolderExists(LArgs(0)) Then
    x = CLng(LArgs(1))
    If LCase(LCommand) = "gotoiffolderexist" And FSO.FolderExists(LArgs(0)) Then GoTo line
    End If
    
    If LCase(LCommand) = "goto" Then
    x = CLng(LArgs(1))
    If LCase(LCommand) = "goto" Then GoTo line
    End If
    
    Next x
    End Sub
    and I am experiencing problems. Whenever I run a script, it loops on the first command. I know it is to do with the goto commands. I had the same command inside itself because otherwise it says something about object variable or with block variable not set. Can anyone help me fix the code so it doesn't infinitely loop on the first command? Cheers.

    First, get rid of all the gotos and second, get rid of the On Error Resume Next.

    What kind of parsing do you need to do to the "script" you are feeding this?
