solution ,how to exit current iteration and continue with next on a condi in For Loop in VBS

[QTPShann]

Hi Friends here is how we can exit the current iteration on a condition and continue with next iteration with a for loop in VB Scripting. Like Continue in VB.

For i=0 to 10
Do
IF i<5 Then
Exit DO
End IF
Statement 1
Statement 2
Statement 3
Statement 4
Exit Do
Loop
Next

for the first 5 iterations, Statements 1 thro 4 will not be executed. Next 6 iterations, Statements 1 thro 4 will be executed.

Yes .... and do you have a question???

Why do you have a Do...Loop inside the Foe...Next loop?

You simply need an appropriate If statement!

Why don't you simply loop like this:

for i = 5 to 10

?

@MakeItSo - While your code is an accurate simplification of the OP, it is only circumstantial. I believe the OP was trying to suggest an example solution for a problem he encountered - the values used are likely arbitrary.

@QTPShann, what Skipvought said is true, "Why do you have a Do...Loop inside the Foe...Next loop?" Remove then do..loop and move the statements inside the if..then and you eliminate 5 lines of superfluous code and improve resource cost.

for i = 0 to 10
   if (i < 5) then
      Statement 1
      Statement 2
      Statement 3
      Statement 4
   end if
next

Often the best solution to a problem is to avoid the problem!
If the problem of the OP is different to the one stated, he should rather post information relevant to his problem! Then the best solution might be not solving his problem but avoiding it in the first place by implementing proper logic!
Your solution of creating a loop for 0 to 10 and then executing something in the first 5 cases and ignoring the rest is not the way to go IMHO.

Yes, I would agree with your points. However, notice the OP did include relevant information, "Like Continue in VB.", which, frankly, nullifies your solution (no exclamation mark needed)
