Skipping within a For Loop

[Pete]

Sure there's a difference. _CONTINUE is like a special needs GOTO. It needs a loop. GOTO can go anywhere.

Anyway. To your point about _CONTINUE and error trapping. It doesn't need a line number. Here are two examples in one snippet. The second one addresses the error trapping question. Just press a key after the first demo is done.

Code: (Select All)

ON ERROR GOTO resnxt
FOR i = 10 TO -10 STEP -1
    IF i MOD 2 THEN _CONTINUE
    LOCATE , ABS(i): PRINT i ' Errors when i = 0.
NEXT

SLEEP

LOCATE 15, 10
FOR i = 10 TO -10 STEP -1
    IF SCREEN(CSRLIN, POS(0) - (10 - ABS(i))) = 32 THEN _CONTINUE
    PRINT "It will not go here. because _CONTINUE skips it even after error."
NEXT
END

resnxt:
BEEP
PRINT "Error"; ERR, "i ="; i,
RESUME NEXT

Good question!
