continue - Skip to the next iteration of a loop
Contents
Description
This command is typically invoked inside the body of a looping command such as for or foreach or while.
It returns a 4 (TCL_CONTINUE) result 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. Continue 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"
}
