tcl7.6 User Commands - continue






NAME

     continue - Skip to the next iteration of a loop


SYNOPSIS

     continue





DESCRIPTION

     This command is typically invoked inside the body of a loop-
     ing  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.
