Need help with a while loop

Hello!
I have a problem with a while loop. I want the program to be stuck at that loop untill it get the message "fardiga" from computer with channel 1.
As I have programmed it now it breaks the loop as soon anything is sent to the computer. I know how and works but not when I start adding not condition to it.
Can anyone help with the right conditons and why this loop seems to let everything throu it.

function getInfo()
   _, side, freq, rfreq, message = os.pullEvent("modem_message")
end

getInfo()
while rfreq ~= 1 and message ~= "fardiga" do
   getInfo()
end

You want an or instead of an and; "while either one of these conditions are not met, continue to loop".

Hi

Here's your code

function getInfo()
   _, side, freq, rfreq, message = os.pullEvent("modem_message")
end
getInfo()
while (rfreq ~= 1) or (message ~= "fardiga") do
   getInfo()
end

Thanks alot.
