Continue
Skips the rest of the current loop iteration and begins a new one. Valid inside any kind of loop.
Continue , LoopLabel
[AHK_L 59+]: If specified, LoopLabel identifies which loop this statement should apply to; either by label name or numeric nesting level. If omitted or 1, this statement applies to the innermost loop in which it is enclosed. LoopLabel must be a constant value - variables and expressions are not supported. If a label is specified, it must point directly at a loop command.
Continue behaves the same as reaching the loop's closing brace:
- It increases A_Index by 1.
- It skips the rest of the loop's body.
- The loop's condition (if it has one) is checked to see if it is satisified. If so, a new iteration begins; otherwise the loop ends.
The use of Break and Continue are encouraged over goto since they usually make scripts more readable and maintainable.

Example
; This example displays 5 MsgBoxes, one for each number between 6 and 10. ; Note that in the first 5 iterations of the Loop, the "continue" command ; causes the loop to start over before it reaches the MsgBox line. Loop, 10 { if A_Index <= 5 continue MsgBox %A_Index% }
; Continue the outer loop from within a nested loop. outer: Loop 3 { x := A_Index Loop 3 { if (x*A_Index = 4) continue outer ; Equivalent to continue 2 or goto continue_outer. MsgBox %x%,%A_Index% } continue_outer: ; For goto. ErrorLevel:=ErrorLevel ; Prior to revision 57, labels could not point to the end of a block. }
