What should happen if the letter is not one of those? Nothing?
Just keep a state variable.
Code:
seen=false
for x in A B C; do
case $1 in $x) seen=true; continue;; esac
$seen || continue
echo This is $x
done
The construct m || n reads out "m or n" and basically means if m is false, execute n; in other words, it's a convenient shorthand for "if ! m; then n; fi"
false and true are shell commands which simply set their exit code to a false (non-zero) and true (zero) value, respectively. (The convention in the shell is that a zero exit code signifies success, and anything else, failure.)
