CONTINUE(1)

NAME
continue - skip the remainder of the current iteration of the current inner loop

SYNOPSIS
LOOP_CONSTRUCT; [COMMANDS ...;] continue; [COMMANDS ...;] end

DESCRIPTION

continue skips the remainder of the current iteration of the current inner loop, such as a for <> loop or a while <> loop. It is usually added inside of a conditional block such as an if <> statement or a switch <> statement.

EXAMPLE

The following code removes all tmp files that do not contain the word smurf.

    for i in *.tmp
        if grep smurf $i
            continue
        end
        # This "rm" is skipped over if "continue" is executed.
        rm $i
        # As is this "echo"
        echo $i
    end

•   the break <> command, to stop the current inner loop
