Hi Salih,
here you go:
############################################
dummy <- FALSE
for ( ii in 1:5 ) {
for ( jj in 3:6 ) {
cat("ii=",ii,"; jj=",jj,"\n",sep="")
if ( ii == jj ) {
dummy <- TRUE
break
}
}
if ( dummy ) break
}
###########################################
Note that I am using "ii" and "jj" as loop indices, not "i" and "j".
This makes it a lot easier to search for the loop counter in more
complex scripts - if you just search for "i", most of your hits will be
something else than the loop counter.
HTH,
Stephan

Hi Stephan,
Thanks a lot. But i am not very good at R yet so i dont know how to set the
dummy variable to FALSE. Can you please help me with that as well?

Hi,
you could set a dummy variable to FALSE outside the outermost loop. If the
break condition is met in the inner loop, set the dummy variable to TRUE
before breaking and test its truth status in the outer loop.

Hi,
I am looking for a command in R that would force the for loop to stop
after
it finds what it is looking for.
As an example
for(i in 1:5){
for(j in 3:6){
if(i==j)
# do something...
break;
}
}
And i don't want the loop to execute once i = 3 and stop.
Is there a way to do this?
best,
salih
