Is there a way to continue a loop in OpenOffice Basic like in other language?

For i = 0 To 10

  If i = 5 Then
     Continue For # Not working
  End If  

Next i

I know the Syntax Exit For to break a loop but I have to skip some iterations... Thank you in advance!

    As @tohuwawohu said, there does not seem to be any such syntax. See https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/BASIC_Guide/Loops. However with OpenOffice you can use other languages that do have this, such as Java or Python. – Jim K Dec 22 '15 at 23:40
  • @JimK: Good point! Didn't think of other, feature-rich languages myself - would be worth an answer... – tohuwawohu Dec 23 '15 at 10:28

AFAIK there isn't, but you also can use the If clause to skip certain iterations: 

For i = 0 To 10

  If i <> 5 Then
     # Execute some commands except in the fifth iteration
  End If  

Next i

Of course, using something like Continue would be better style, since the If clause as proposed seems to handle an exception, not the normal case.

Had the same problem, got around did by equating the iterator to itself, i.e. i = i.

For i = 0 To 10

  If i = 5 Then
     GoTo Continue 
  End If  


Continue:
Next i
