continue(1)

NAME
continue

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
