I can't get counter value inside of "if" function.  
So I was wondering is it posible to write placeholder that can count (like %\_counter%) inside "if" function.

Example:  
$loop(%\_folderpath%)

$if($eql($folderdepth(%\_folderpath%),$folderdepth(%\_workingpath%)),,%\_counter\_if%)

$loopend

Please reply Florian, thanks
