DESCRIPTION

16       This  command is typically invoked inside the body of a looping command
17       such as for or foreach or while.  It returns a TCL_CONTINUE code, which
18       causes a continue exception to occur.  The exception causes the current
19       script to be aborted out to  the  innermost  containing  loop  command,
20       which then continues with the next iteration of the loop.  Catch excep‐
21       tions are also handled in a few other situations,  such  as  the  catch
22       command and the outermost scripts of procedure bodies.

EXAMPLE

25       Print a line for each of the integers from 0 to 10 except 5:
26              for {set x 0} {$x<10} {incr x} {
27                 if {$x == 5} {
28                    continue
29                 }
30                 puts "x is $x"
31              }
