continue(3tcl)

NAME

   continue - Skip to the next iteration of a loop

SYNOPSIS

   continue
______________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

   This  command is typically invoked inside the body of a looping command
   such as for or foreach or while.  It returns a TCL_CONTINUE code, which
   causes a continue exception to occur.  The exception causes the current
   script to be aborted out to  the  innermost  containing  loop  command,
   which  then  continues  with  the  next  iteration  of the loop.  Catch
   exceptions are also handled in a few  other  situations,  such  as  the
   catch command and the outermost scripts of procedure bodies.

EXAMPLE

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