Foreach loop - Skip an item and go to next one

Question

Hi I have a foreach loop that iterates through a list of files by their name and then in another class still within the loop opens each file and manipulates it in various ways. When encountering a bad file (which I can easily detect) I wish to skip the file data manipulation ignore that file and go to the next item (file name) in the foreach loop. In short: How can one skip an item in foreach loop and continue with the next one? Thanks samatl

Inside foreach loop you can perform a condition based logic. So in condition of bad file that logic is not executed.

Thanks. The solution is obvious. My error was that I used wrong 'if' condition. It was solved by using the opposite if condition.
