Hi everyone, I have an if then else statement that contains a for loop and another if statement. It also contains another for loop and if statement after the Else part. What I want to do is jump out of the nested if. I've shown below the structure to make it easier to explain.

If
For.......
If......
..........................
(This is where I want to jump out of all these statements)
End If
Next
.......................
Else
For.......
If.......
............................
End If
Next
..................
End If

(This is where I want to jump to)
.............................
.............................

I know that I can use Exit Sub to jump to the end of the sub, and I know I can use Exit For to jump out of a for loop but they are no use to me here. If anyone knows if it's possible to do what I want, then I could use your help.

Cheers

I think you might have to use *shudder* goto for this one.

isn't there a

break;

??

There is - Exit For, Exit If or whatever, but he wants to break out of multiple nested statements. You could also set a flag, which it checks and breaks if it's true.

make procedure sub ThisIsIWantToJumpTo, and call it where you need. Don't use GOTO, if .Net got it.

that's how i'd do it too. just set up a flag(boolean variable) called exitloop or something. in each loop you will need a if(exitloop) then break.

(Toggle Plain Text)

bool exitloop = false;

if{
.......
      if(exitloop) break;
if{
......
      if(exitloop) break;
}
}

edit: doh, i forgot i am now in the VB forums, not c++ anymore. close enough though, you get the picture right?
