.. _cmd-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 :ref:`for <cmd-for>` loop or a :ref:`while <cmd-while>` loop. It is usually added inside of a conditional block such as an :ref:`if <cmd-if>` statement or a :ref:`switch <cmd-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
