“Continue” (to next iteration) on VBScript

Question

A colleague and I were trying to figure out a way of doing the equivalent of a \"continue\" statement within a VBScript \"For/Next\" loop.

Everywhere we looked we found

Answer 1

Your suggestion would work, but using a Do loop might be a little more readable.

This is actually an idiom in C - instead of using a goto, you can have a do { } while (0) loop with a break statement if you want to bail out of the construct early.

Dim i

For i = 0 To 10
    Do
        If i = 4 Then Exit Do
        WScript.Echo i
    Loop While False
Next

As crush suggests, it looks a little better if you remove the extra indentation level.

Dim i

For i = 0 To 10: Do
    If i = 4 Then Exit Do
    WScript.Echo i
Loop While False: Next
