continue(3tcl) Tcl Built-In Commands continue(3tcl)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________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"
}

while(3tcl) Tcl Built-In Commands while(3tcl)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
while - Execute script repeatedly as long as a condition is met
SYNOPSIS
while test body
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The while command evaluates test as an expression (in the same way that expr evaluates its argument). The value of the expression must a
proper boolean value; if it is a true value then body is executed by passing it to the Tcl interpreter. Once body has been executed then
test is evaluated again, and the process repeats until eventually test evaluates to a false boolean value. Continue commands may be exe-
cuted inside body to terminate the current iteration of the loop, and break commands may be executed inside body to cause immediate termi-
nation of the while command. The while command always returns an empty string.
Note: test should almost always be enclosed in braces. If not, variable substitutions will be made before the while command starts execut-
ing, which means that variable changes made by the loop body will not be considered in the expression. This is likely to result in an
infinite loop. If test is enclosed in braces, variable substitutions are delayed until the expression is evaluated (before each loop iter-
ation), so changes in the variables will be visible. For an example, try the following script with and without the braces around $x<10:
set x 0
while {$x<10} {
puts "x is $x"
incr x
}
EXAMPLE
Read lines from a channel until we get to the end of the stream, and print them out with a line-number prepended:
set lineCount 0
while {[gets $chan line] >= 0} {
puts "[incr lineCount]: $line"
}
