Depending on context (an example of what you wish to do would help) the break builtin in bash may help,
Code:
       break [n]
              Exit  from within a for, while, until, or select loop.  If n is
              specified, break n levels.  n must be >= 1.   If  n  is  greater
              than  the  number  of  enclosing loops, all enclosing loops are
              exited.  The return value is 0 unless the shell is not  execut-
              ing a loop when break is executed.

You also have
Code:
 continue [ n ]
       Resume  the  next  iteration  of the enclosing for,
       while, until, or select loop.  If n  is  specified,
       then resume at the n-th enclosing loop.

Most script languages don't support the 'goto' statement. The closest they have is 'case'.
