OS: mac, windows, linux, ios, android

Platforms: desktop, server, mobile

Description:

Use the <next repeat> <control structure> to skip part of a <repeat>

loop.

**Form:** The <next repeat> <statement> appears on a line by itself,

anywhere inside a <repeat> <control structure>.

The <next repeat> <control structure> skips the rest of the current

<iteration>, and continues to the next <iteration>. The following

example performs the loop action only if the <folder|folder's> name

does not begin with the character ".":

local tFolders

repeat for each line tFolder in folders(tPath)

if tFolder begins with "." then

next repeat

end if

put tPath & slash & tFolder & return after tFolders

end repeat

Usually, <next repeat> is used within an <if> <control structure>, so

that the current <iteration> is skipped if a condition is true and

continues if the condition is false.
