stop executing commands in a loop

Hi,

if i have a loop and a condition is not met to continue the execution how can i tell the loop to skip the remaining commands for this iteration and continue the loop. example: for i=1:length(x) [y]=firm(x1,x2); if isempty(y) %% here : assume i=3 how can I tell the loop not to continue the remaining commands for i=3 and to continue the loop with i=4?

end end end end [S1,tic1]=sicfirms(SICY,SICx(i),Date02,Criteria1,Criteria2,GVKeyY); %%%%data related to the matching firm else S5(i,1:9)=0; S5(i,10)=1; %Type 1 error if here is no compustat criteria for the event firm end

sorry the last 4 lines were pasted by mistake

so if y is empty it should not execute the remaining commands? then the if-statement works, right?

for i=1:length(x) 
  [y]=firm(x1,x2); 
  if isempty(y) 
    continue
  end
end
