continue(3tcl) Tcl Built-In Commands 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 4
    (TCL_CONTINUE) result 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. Continue 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"
}
