NAME

       continue - Skip to the next iteration of a loop

SYNOPSIS

       continue
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

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.   Catch  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"
              }
