How can I 'continue' the outer most for loop when an if statement is satisfied?

Question

How can I jump to the next value (not the next val) when the condition is satisfied?

Example:

lines = iter(open('something.txt', 'r'))
for value in list:
    for val in value:
        for v in val
            if v == "!":
            #execute code
            #jump to next value

I think you want `break` – Elliott Frisch Sep 04 '21 at 21:30 — Elliott Frisch, Sep 04 '21 at 21:30

Use break to stop the inner loop and go to next value:

lines = iter(open('something.txt', 'r'))
for value in lines:
    for val in value:
        if val == "!":
            break

From what I can see in the example, you can just break from the inner loop.

Please provide additional details in your answer. As it's currently written, it's hard to understand your solution. – Community Sep 04 '21 at 23:15
You have to add `break` in place of the "#jump to next value" comment. – Pietrek Sep 06 '21 at 10:32
