Continue in cfloop

Have you ever used continue in cfloop without cfcontinue/cfbreak.

Check this code:

Here I have a <cfloop> which runs 10 times for value of 'i'. I want to implement continue tag if the 'i' is an even no. To achieve that check if the no.is even and if it is, I throw a custom error.

The good thing is that you can always catch this error. So Catch this error before closing </cfloop> tag. Though you can add some code over there also but it totally depends on you. For a normal continue you need not add anything in <cfcatch> block. As expected this thrown error wil be caugth in <cfcatch> and it will proceed for next iteration in <cfloop>, without any error. And this is how it behaved as continue.

So all in all you need to remember that

• instead of continue you can throw a custom error
• catch this error in the end (before closing </cfloop> tag)
• Do nothing in <cfcatch> tag (though its your wish but its not necessary)
• close </cfloop> tag.

Hope you got this.

Cheers!!!
