I know this is an old post, but I wanted to add something I learned for the next folks who land here while googling.
In Powershell 5.1, you want to use continue to move onto the next item in your loop. I tested with 6 items in an array, had a foreach loop through, but put an if statement with:
foreach($i in $array){
write-host -fore green "hello $i"
if($i -like "something"){
write-host -fore red "$i is bad"
continue
write-host -fore red "should not see this"
}
}
Of the 6 items, the 3rd one was something. As expected, it looped through the first 2, then the matching something gave me the red line where $i matched, I saw something is bad and then it went on to the next item in the array without saying should not see this. I tested with return and it exited the loop altogether.
