How to make M1** execute Gcode

I have another question for you andy . Why are only "if" statemants used and not "if" and "elif".?

for some inexplicable reason the forum will include the date in some file names.

It's not entirely inexplicable, all these files live in an attachments folder on the server, and mine is almost certainly not the first remap.py posted here. 
But the file names in that folder need to be unique.

Do you want the real answer? I jump between C, VBA and Python so often I forget which uses elif, else if and elseif.

Gotcha I didn't know if their was some specific rule of why you used only if statements. it was only when I looked up how to do Case Statements
in python that I discovered that python doesn't do Case statements like C or C++ and probably others do. I am trying to learn C on my own
But honestly I'm struggling with it right now.

Hi Andypugh . I have a Python question for you. From what I have read if you exclusively use "if" statements multiple one's can be true and
executed at the same time. if someone uses "if" and "elif" statements once one is true the rest are ignored. Am I understanding that correctly?
I am still very much learning this stuff so I don't know the rules yet.

An if and the elif statemts that follow it form a tree or line, that once one of the statements in that line are true, the ones that follow (in that line) are ignored. But that doesn't apply to other separate if lines in the program. They should still be processed individually. Elif (or else if) is kind of the opposite of then.
