RE: "continue/next" for "loop"

"Sometimes I use exceptions..."

I remember some people are against using exceptions for control flow. I think this even appears in some coding standards.

So, as other have said, the goto might be appropriate.

Yet another way is to structure the code more, i.e. put the crucial sequences of statements inside (local) procedures, and then call the procedures at the appropriate points.

Of course you may have to parametrize the procedures to pass the values of the loop control variables.

Come to think of it, this is probably how I do it most of the times. I seem to remember having really long procedure names...
