Nested looping statements

I cannot get the code below to work correctly. The IF statement works just fine, but not the looping. The inner loop tries to find files for a given vendor; if found, I need to sleep giving another process time to move the files. Once the given vendor's files are gone, then I want to move on to the second vendor, and so forth. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? In simple terms, if vendor 1 has files, sleep until gone, then move to vendor 2, and proceed until all vendor directories have been checked.

Thank you very much.

Code:

IFS='|'
Switch=’ ‘ 
while read -r vVendor vEnd
do
echo 'vVendor is = ' $vVendor
until [ switch='no' ]
  do
    if [ -s     $CENTENE_CUSTEDI/vendors/vVendor/outbound/834/aui11273_FL.dat -o -s $CENTENE_CUSTEDI/vendors/  vVendor/outbound/834/chi11273_FL.dat ]; then
export switch='yes'
echo 'file found - this is bad'
sleep 10 
else
export switch='no'
echo 'file not found - this is good'
fi
done 
done < $CENTENE_TEMPDATA/felg834d_file_found1.dat

continue

continue(1T)						       Tcl Built-In Commands						      continue(1T)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

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  continues with the next iteration of the loop.  Catch exceptions are also handled in a few other situations, 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"
	      }
