"Break" from a Loop
I created a script-

PHP Code:
while [ ${Check} = "N" ]
do
echo "try this"
           for file in `cat file_list`
           do
           echo $file
                     if [ ${NewCheck} = "N" ]
                     then 
                     sVar="F"
                     else
                     [B]break[/B]
                     fi
           done
sleep 300
done

EOF 
exit 0

Here we have "while" loop then a "for" loop and finally an "if" conditional. Now when the "if" condition fails then I use "break".

My qusn is will this BREAK , break it out of "For" Loop or totally out of "While" loop i.e. exit it out of script.

Expert opinion needed. Dont have enough time to test the it myself.

Thanks
Sumeet
