Hi friends , I meed to create an infinite
loop, exiting from it only if a certain
condition matches like che content of
a var (not a counter!!!)

Well, do you want this loop to run immediately or do you want it to wait for certain text to loop again or what? Give us some more info, some output would be nice, maybe the variable you want to stop the loop on, etc.

well, the loop shoul start as aan alias,
and runs infinitely, until the var @STOP
is "TRUE" (suppose that it is "FALSE")
as the alias is typed

Alias: Start =
#IF (@Stop = TRUE) {#NOOP} {#LOOP 1 *command to execute for varible being false*;start}

Try that.. tell me if it works

Not this way, I made something similar, but after some time zmud crashes (overflow i suppose). I nedd a single loop

#UNTIL (@stop) {do stuff}

To avoid overflow from a recursive loop, use a second alias. Each alias is able to complete its script, so it doesn't need to be stacked.

#AL loop1 {#IF (@stop) {} {do stuff;loop2}}
#AL loop2 loop1

Use either Kjata's suggestion or
#AL INFINITE {STOP=0;#WHILE (@STOP=0) {#NOOP}}

Lightbulb's will ultimately eat all your system memory and crash Zmud.
