continue(n) Tcl Built-In Commands continue(n) 





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"
}
