CONTINUE(1SH)           COMMAND REFERENCE           CONTINUE(1SH)



NAME
     continue - resume next iteration of for or while loop (sh
     built-in)

SYNOPSIS
     continue

DESCRIPTION
     Continue resumes the next iteration of the enclosing for or
     while loop.

EXAMPLES
     The following example is a shell script which prints the
     name of each subdirectory in the current directory and asks
     the user if he or she wants a listing of the contents of
     that directory. If the reply is n, (for no) the directory is
     not listed. This example makes use of continue in two
     places: the first usage makes sure that only directories may
     be listed and the second usage processes the user's reply.



          #!/bin/sh
          for i in *
          {
               if test ! -d "$i"
               then
                    continue
               fi
               echo -n "Do you want to list the directory $i? "
               read f
               if test "n" = "$f"
               then
                    continue
               fi
               ls "$i"
          }
