I do not know when it was introduced, but the current Brightscript reference lists "CONTINUE FOR" and "CONTINUE WHILE" statements. (With oddly no mention of "BREAK".)

There's no break, but there is "exit while". Are you saying that break is supported?
This is a ten year old thread, so a lot has changed.
I was merely saying that I did not find mention of "BREAK" in the current BrightScript documentation.
You are right to point out that "EXIT FOR" and "EXIT WHILE" is how you break out of a loop. So it seems that modern BrightScript indeed has support for both continue/break, but does not yet directly support any select/switch kind of branching.
I realize this is a very old thread, but Google sent me here when I was looking for the equivalent of continue/break for BrightScript, so I feel it is worth updating the thread with the recent relevant information.
