- Skip (V1.3 in C:) (2.x/3.x internal)
-
-
- NAME
- Skip - Skip to the appropriate label.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- Skip string [BACK]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Skip moves the currently executing script file ahead
- until it finds a lab declaration which matches its own
- argument. If Skip is used without an argument, it looks
- for a null string designated by LAB.
-
- If you run skip without a label string or a LAB
- command then you will get the error message declaring
- 'label not found by SKIP'.
-
- To Skip backwards in a file, you use the BACK
- keyword.
-
- If at any point in its search for a label Skip
- encounters the EndSkip command, it will abort the Skip
- and return an error of WARN.
-
-
- By using the idiom "Skip ?", you can request a user
- to give you a label, and jump to that portion of the
- batch file.
-
- CAUTION: With the 1.3 version of SKIP, you should NOT
- indent a "Lab" statement or that label will not be found.
-
-
-
- Note that 2.x/3.x contains this command as a builtin.
-
- KEYWORDS
- string
- The text attached to a LAB command which SKIP
- searches for. The search always starts on the line
- following skip and continues downwoard toward the end of
- the file. SKIP always looks for the LAB keyword command
- preceding the Skip command, it will not goto a LAB
- command before the Skip unless the BACK keyword is used.
-
-
- back
- Added with 1.3, it starts at the Skip and searches
- back up the file towards the beginning. You may not skip
- backwards in an EXECUTE statement.
