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 TCL_CONTINUE 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 con-tinues continues
       tinues with the next iteration of the loop.  Catch exceptions are also handled in a few other  situa-tions, situations,
       tions, 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"
              }
