Statement "continue"?

RouterOS Scripting
1

Is there “continue” statement in mikrotik scripting?

example:

:for i from=1 to=5 do={
:if($i=3) do={continue}
:log info $i
}

Output:
1
2
4
5
2

:continue command was added in 7.22 alpha, if anyone wants to try: https://mt.lv/nightly-build

Wow, it's been 13 years. :clown_face:

Now lets wait for :break another 13yrs :slight_smile:

:break was also added together with :exit in 7.22, no need to wait :wink:

Seems like powerful commands.

Excellent...

While we wait for a "stable" or "long-term" release (perhaps the prophesied 7.23.5) we can do this:

:for i from=1 to=5 do={
    :if ($i!=3) do={:put $i}
}

For sure, considering time passed from our necroposting who knows if OP will read this :slight_smile:

Yes, of course, but the message was addressed to everyone, not just the OP. :joy:

IMO, it's not necroposting to "close" a feature request, when OP wasn't resolved. In fact, not opening a new topic I'd say is preferable since the 13 year timeframe is an interesting data point.

I agree, new topic with link reference to this topic may be just a additional forum topics bloat.

Don't worry when this makes it to testing channel, someone is still going ask what does 'console - add :continue to scripting' mean?. It seems searching is not everyone's skill.

Now if only we could get some more functional-style :match and/or :switch/:case to better organize things... but at least continue/break will allow similar pattern matching.

Definitely will simplify and reduce number of lines in script code
