Hi all. I got this application that once go button clicked it takes single url value and goes trough some process as shown in pic and at the end writes the content of text4 to a text file. Now i want automate this process for range of range of URL i tried to do the following but i get into infinite loop and value of URL does not get incremented and only one url get executed succssefully!! I be happy if some one look at it and let me know how i can fix this problem.Thanks

layout of form without using loop for single url . which works perfectly:
