Example 1:: while "a>b" do {a=a+1}
Example 2:: A practical example: Repair all members of a group to such a level that they are able to stand up: { while {(not canStand _x) and (alive _x)} do { _x setDammage (getDammage _x) - 0.01; }; } forEach units group unitname;

Kronzky: The boolean code that's used to evaluate the while condition can be preceded by code that executes a regular command.
e.g. while {_a=_a+1; _a<10} do {...}

RaynMan: It is important to note, however, that the above example will operate as a pre-increment. In the following example: _a = 0
while{_a=_a+1; _a<5} do { player sideChat format["_a = %1", _a]} the player will 'sideChat' 1,2,3,4.
