break(3tcl)

NAME

   break - Abort looping command

SYNOPSIS

   break
______________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

   This  command is typically invoked inside the body of a looping command
   such as for or foreach or while.  It returns a  TCL_BREAK  code,  which
   causes  a  break  exception to occur.  The exception causes the current
   script to be aborted out to  the  innermost  containing  loop  command,
   which then aborts its execution and returns normally.  Break exceptions
   are also handled in a few other situations, such as the catch  command,
   Tk event bindings, and the outermost scripts of procedure bodies.

EXAMPLE

   Print a line for each of the integers from 0 to 5:
          for {set x 0} {$x<10} {incr x} {
             if {$x > 5} {
                break
             }
             puts "x is $x"
          }
