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"
}
