Is there a way to BREAK out of a LOOP? How about CONTINUE/NEXT?

Thanks.

yes, BREAK is the command

In their articles to prepare the 2008 Winter Scripting Games, "The Scripting

As mentioned in the article, PowerShell also enables to attach a label to a
loop

:OutsideLoop for ($y = 1; $y -le 5; $y++)
{
write-host "Loop number $y"
for ($i = 1; $i -le 3 ; $i++)
{
if ($y -eq 2) {break OutsideLoop}
$i
}
}

I recommend only using break inside a language contruct look like
foreach($a in $b) rather than in foreach-object

because if a break happens to escape outside of a language loop, it can
BReAK the whole pipeline as it stops the pipelines and causes the
cmdlets to get an exception.
