Continue

Return to top of a program loop, skip just this iteration of the loop.

In a For, ForEach or While loop you can add a continue statement to jump to the top of the innermost loop.

Choose the conditions under which you call the continue statement carefully, as it is easy to create an infinite loop.

Examples

Count to 10 but miss out the number 5:

PS> $i =0
    while ($i -lt 10)
       {
          $i +=1 
          if ($i -eq 5) {continue}
          Write-Host $i
       }
