Suppose the following code:

 foreach  i  $List1  { 
 
     foreach  j  $List2  { 

        if  [some condition] {continue}

        eval {blah blah blah}
     }
 }

[Continue] interrupts the foreach j loop. But what if I wanted it to break the foreach i loop?

Place the [[foreach i]] command in a proc and use [return]
instead of [continue].

[Lars H]: Or use [breakeval] as follows

  foreach i $List1 { 
     breakeval-aware foreach j $List2 { 
        
        if  {[some condition]} then {
           breakeval {continue} ; # Break out of j loop, do a continue for the i loop.
        }

        eval {blah blah blah}
     }
 }

[MG] April 20th 2005 - In PHP, [continue] (and [break]) accept an argument that tells it how many nesting levels to continue/break for, slightly-similar to return's -code option. How hard would it be to add something like that into Tcl? Since neither [break] nor [continue] accept any arguments right now, as long as it defaulted to 1 it would have total backwards-compatability, and would, IMHO, be more "natural" than the above.

[schlenk]  Did you try return -code continue -level ...
