NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

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

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
