Does a traveler break his fast if he intends to break it and then completes his fast?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person is traveling while fasting, and the journey is difficult for him, so he intends to break his fast, but then he completes his fast, is he considered to have broken his fast by his intention, even though he did not eat or drink?

Answer:
If he resolves to break the fast, he has broken it. But if he hesitates, saying, "I will break it, I will not break it, I need to break it, or I am undecided," the intention is not broken.
