trying to 'next' in while loop

[s_shrum]

I have a while loop in which I read file specs.

I want to skip the DIR entries so I tried:

next if ($type == "dir" );

Is next a valid call in a while loop? Otherwise, how do I skip these items?

TIA

try

do {
   if($type != "dir") {
      code...
   }
while()

You want to use the "continue" statement (like perl's "next" ?) 🆒
