Break

Break

Type: break  ·  Package: Core Activities v1.0.0

Exits immediately the loop (For Each, For Loop or While) that contains it, without finishing the remaining loops. Execution continues with the activity that comes after the loop. Use it when you find what you were looking for or a condition occurs that makes it unnecessary to continue iterating.

How it works

When executed, it interrupts the closest loop around it. It is normally placed inside an If to exit only under a certain condition.

Parameters

It has no parameters.

Example

Find the first row that meets a condition and stop:

For Each   items = = tabla   itemVariable = fila
 └─ activities:
      If   condition = = str(row["Estado"]) == "Aprobado"
       └─ then:
            Set Variable   name = encontrada   value = = fila
            Break              // ya la encontramos: no seguir recorriendo

Only inside a loop

Break only makes sense within a For Each, For Loop or While. Outside of a loop there is no way to exit. Affects the innermost loop if there are nested loops.
