while

Execute commands

SYNTAX
      while (expr)
      ...
      end     

Execute the commands between while and the matching end while expr evaluates non-zero.

while and end must appear alone on their input lines.

break and continue may be used to terminate or continue the loop prematurely. If the input is a terminal, the user is prompted the first time through the loop as with foreach.
