Array iteration

[demon cleaner 1]

Hi !

I'm trying to apply certain code to every element of an array by using this forEach loop:

{ call compile format ["
   while {true} do {
       if (!(isNil ""%1"") && !(isNull %1)) then {
           ...
           <snip>omitted because of irrelevance</snip>
           ...
       };", (_x select 0), (_x select 2)];
       sleep 0.123;
   };
} forEach somePublicVariable;

For some reason it will only iterate to the first index, while this code bock here works just fine:

{ call compile format ["
   if (!(isNil ""%1"") && !(isNull %1)) then {
   ...
   <snip>omitted because of irrelevance</snip>
   ...
   };", (_x select 0), (_x select 2)];
   sleep 0.123;
} forEach somePublicVariable;

What's wrong with that while loop ? What am I missing here ? ... :confused:

I simply can't explain this to myself and any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers !

because it stays in the infinite loop?
