RouterOS Scripting

Can I use if after else?
if (safsafasfasfasfasfa);
else:
if(safasfsafasfasf)
or its not possible in Mikrotik scripting?

Yes you can use as many if and else you like.

Example

:if (version>=6.5) do={
	# Do some stuff
} else={
	# Do some other stuff
	:if (host=27) do={
		# Do some other stuff here
	}
}

Thanks, just another question is the syntax ok if I want to ping host A and B and both are down switch of C
:if ([/ping 10.10.200.1 count=5] AND [/ping 10.10.100.1 count=5] = 0) do={[/interface disable ether8]} this line doesn work its switches off ether if one or other is down
and if A or B is accessible switch C back online
:if ([/ping 10.10.200.1 count=5] | [/ping 10.10.100.1 count=5] != 0) do={[/interface enable ether8]} this line works perfect

Script can be used to nearly all tings, but do not use ping to test for ip up, use netwatch.

Do search forum here for example

Then you just use and &&

:if ($test1="true"&&test2="true") do={
   # do some here
}
