How to use "IF" control structure for 2 actions?

[admirable]

As it mentioned in Help, If structure works several ways.

if condition then
do something here end

What I want is if condition met then do one thing and do another thing.

For Example:

if(SerialNumberScreen.AttemptCount >= SerialNumberScreen.MaxAttempts) then
Application.Exit(0);
File.OpenURL("WebsiteURL", SW_SHOWNORMAL);
end

In above example, if user failed to entered correct serial key & reaches max attempts then application exit and visit to a website/url.
But my code is not working, tried adding "and" but no luck.

What you see is expected. You are ending the script before the File.OpenURL() is executed. If you want to perform an action, this action must happen BEFORE any Application.Exit(), Application.ExitScript(), Screen.Jump() / Back / Next / End, or even a "return".

Oh my gosh. How silly am I!
Thanks for the help.

Additionally, you can use Lua's pseudo-ternary statement. This can give strange results in the case where you use boolean operators incorrectly but otherwise it's a very sound way of getting a single-line, if-then statement.

local bIsCool = true; --change this to false to alter the ternary result

local sCool = (bIsCool) and "I'm cool!" or "Nope, I'm not cool...";

Dialog.Message("Are you cool?", sCool.);
