Skips the rest of the current loop iteration and begins a new one. Valid inside any kind of loop.
Continue [, LoopLabel]
[AHK_L 59+]: If specified, LoopLabel identifies which loop this statement should apply to; either by label name or numeric nesting level. If omitted or 1, this statement applies to the innermost loop in which it is enclosed. LoopLabel must be a constant value - variables and expressions are not supported. If a label is specified, it must point directly at a loop command.
Continue behaves the same as reaching the loop's closing brace:
The use of Break and Continue are encouraged over goto since they usually make scripts more readable and maintainable.

; This example displays 5 MsgBoxes, one for each number between 6 and 10.
; Note that in the first 5 iterations of the Loop, the "continue" command
; causes the loop to start over before it reaches the MsgBox line.
