[Resolved] How do I go to next iteration of For?

[capsulecorpjx]

For x = 0 to 10
if true then
next x
end if
msgbox "hey"
next x

I'm trying to force a for loop to go to the next iteration. But the "next x" doesn't seem to work. What's the right command?

I don't understand the logic of your loop.

First, if what is True?

if true?? if what is true?
what are you trying to do with that...?

you could use a goto...

For x = 0 to 10
  If true then
    goto NXTX
  end if
  msgbox "hey"
NXTX:
next x

you could use a goto...

Wash your mouth out with soap and then GoTo your room.

GoTo is bad.

Do you want to do something only if some condtion is not true?
And otherwise go straight to the end of the loop?

For x = 0 to 10
    If Not true Then
        MsgBox "hey"
    End If
Next x

Use this:

For x = 0 To 10
    If variable = True Then
        Exit For
    End If
    MsgBox "hey"
Next x

no... ok.. i know goto is bad.. but if its THAT bad.. why do u still use it in On Error Goto..... ???

O3.. thats no good... that exits the for, they want to just jump to the next x

I would use Jeroen's idea... basically use if else... so if its Not true then do whatever... else... do this.. so it will skip by everything

I'm gonna use the If / Else. I wanted to try to avoid that just to keep the number of tabs down and make the code look cleaner.

GoTo would be the good option, but I want to try to avoid using it as it is not supported in VB.NET, and we might convert in the future.

OEGT is still used because they haven't given us anything better to use. However, OEGT isn't a true GoTo, it simply is part of the construct. But using GoTo by itself like that.... I cringe when I keep reading "... and GoTo is still supported in this version of VB...." ... Personally I wished they had excised it years ago...

I'm trying to force a for loop to go to the next iteration. But the "next x" doesn't seem to work. What's the right command?

What about something as simple as:

For X = 0 To 10
   If True Then 
       X = X + 1
   Else
      MsgBox "Hey"
   End If
Next X

For X = 0 To 10
   If True Then 
       X = X + 1
   Else
      MsgBox "Hey"
   End If
Next X

That would actually go through the loop twice as fast, cause Next X is also X = X+1.

I just went with

For X = 0 to 10
   If <condition> Then
        strErrMsg= strErrMmsg & vbNewLine & "Line " & X & " has an issue"
   Else
        <statements>
   End If
Next X

Or....

For x = 1 To 10
    If IfeltTheNeedToUseGotoHere = False Then
        'do the work
    End If
Next

No goto but whenever I felt the need to use it was true, it simply jumped down to the Next statement anyway.

[jeroen79]

Use this:

For x = 0 To 10
    If variable = True Then
        Exit For
    End If
    MsgBox "hey"
Next x

Exit For will terminate the entire loop, including any iterations you did not yet do.
If you just want to skip to the next iteration then this will be too much.
