Skip an iteration in For...Next loop

[jfrizelle]

Hi

How can I skip to the next iteration of a for next loop? Eg. I'm on iteration 5 but certain criteria mean I don't want to execute the remaining code, so I want to skip on to iteration 6. I thought the keyword was 'Continue' but apparently not. I can only find 'Exit For' which is not what I want to do.

Many thanks,
Jennie.

Hi!

Might perhaps be more elegant solutions, but this works...

[tt]for i = 0 to 1000
if ctriterion <> somevalue then
' perform the code
end if
next i[/tt]

I would create a boolean variable called something like "Skip" set it to true when you want to skip the next iteration and then use an if statement within your loop:

if Skip = False then
'YOUR CODE
if <your argument for skiping the next iteration> then Skip = True
else
'reset the Skip variable
Skip = False
endif

Thanks a lot - I did the skip option. Am I correct in thinking there used to be a Continue option - or am I thinking in a different language? From memory, Continue would go on to the next iteration, and Break would exit the loop - please tell me this thinking has some basis in reality, and I'm not losing the plot!!

No, you're not losing it. The Continue statement in "C" in a for next loop skips to the next iteration. You will also find that in many of the C derivative languages as well, such as JAVA and PHP.

Good Luck
