Nice coincidence, I was in the mood of asking for that too. Thank you
Carnë and Wayne.


// loop functions (examples)
//+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
a = newArray(0,0,0,1,0);
c = 0;
for (i=0; i<a.length; i++) {
        //print(a[i]);
        if (a[i] != 0) {
                //continue; //continues to next element of loop
                break; //breaks the loop and continues macro
        }
        print("element is: 0");
        c++;
}
print("end of macro reached, "+c+" elements printed");
//+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Like Christophe wrote, there are other ways to skip elements inside a
loop but the new functions offer far better ways. Very nice..

Regards,
Rainer
