Synopsis¶
LOOP_CONSTRUCT; [COMMANDS...;] continue; [COMMANDS...;] end
Description¶
continue
skips the remainder of the current iteration of the current inner loop, such as a <a href=”#for”>for</a> loop or a <a href=”#while”>while</a> loop. It is usually added inside of a conditional block such as an <a href=”#if”>if</a> statement or a <a href=”#switch”>switch</a> 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
