title: Skipping a line and reading another line in shell script while loop
body: <p>i have a code which reads a file line by line using a while loop. Inside the while loop, i have certain conditions. Is there a way using which i can skip the current line and read the next line based upon the condition ? Let me be precise:</p>
  
  <pre><code>while read Line
  do
      //some sample conditions
      a=$Line
      if [ "a" == "b" ]
          //i want to go to the next line from this point. 
  done &lt; **inputfile**
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated. </p>
