Name: exit repeat

Type: control structure

Syntax: exit repeat

Summary:

Skips the rest of the current <repeat> <loop> and goes to the

<statement> following the <end repeat>.

Introduced: 1.0

OS: mac, windows, linux, ios, android

Platforms: desktop, server, mobile

Example:

if x &gt; 0 then exit repeat

Description:

Use the <exit repeat> <control structure> to skip the rest of a <repeat>

<loop>.

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

anywhere inside a <repeat> <control structure>.

After an <exit repeat> <statement>, none of the remaining

<statement|statements> in the current <loop> is <execute|executed>, and

any more <loop|loops> are skipped. The <handler> <resume|resumes>

<execute|executing> at the first <statement> after the end of the

<repeat> <loop>.

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

that the <loop> stops if a condition is true and continues if the

condition is false. This example reads a file in chunks and stops

the <loop> when it encounters the end of file or if the file is empty:

constant kChunk = 1024

open file tFile for binary read

repeat

read from file tFile for kChunk

put the result into tResult

if tResult is empty or tResult is "eof" then

ProcessFileChunk it

end if

if tResult is not empty then

exit repeat

end if

end repeat

close file tFile
