4. How to use

Let’s create a workflow that extracts elements from an array one by one and moves to the next iteration if the result is "Da Nang". The array used here is {"Ha Noi", "Sai Gon", "Da Nang", "Da Lat"}.

First, drag and drop "System" > "Original" > "Assign" and place it.

In the properties, input an Array of String type variable (in this example, "result") into "Other" > "To". Then input the value {"Ha Noi", "Sai Gon", "Da Nang", "Da Lat"} into "Value".

For more on creating variables, please refer to "Creating Variables".

Next, drag and drop "System" > "Control Flow" > "For Each" and place it.

From the dropdown in the "Other" > "TypeArgument" property, select "String". Then, input the Array of String variable (in this example, "result") into "Input" > "Values".

Drag and drop "System" > "Control Flow" > "If" and place it.

In the "Other" > "Condition" property, input a Boolean type variable or a VB expression (in this case, the VB expression "item = 'Da Nang'").

Then, drag and drop "System" > "Control Flow" > "Continue" into the Then section of the If condition.

To check the results, add "Write Line" and input a value (in this case, "item + “: Not applicable'") into the "Text" property.

Click "Home > Start" or press "F5" to run the workflow, then open the "Output Panel".

If an element is "Da Nang", the next iteration is executed, so "Da Nang: Not applicable" will not be displayed.

Verify that items other than Da Nang are displayed.

Reference: Execution Results if "Continue" is Placed in the Else Section of the Condition

When elements are "Ha Noi", "Sai Gon", or "Da Lat", they proceed to the next iteration, so only "Da Nang: Not applicable" will be displayed.
