"Continue" (to next iteration) on VBScript

A colleague and I were trying to figure out a way of doing the equivalent of a "continue" statement within a VBScript "For/Next" loop.

Everywhere we looked we found people had no way to do this in VBScript without having nasty nestings, which is not an option for us since it is a quite big loop.

We came out with this idea. Would it work just as a "continue(to next iteration)"? Does anyone have any better workaround or improvement suggestion?

For i=1 to N
  For workaroundloop = 1 to 1
    [Code]
    If Condition1 Then
      Exit For
    End If

    [MoreCode]
    If Condition2 Then
      Exit For
    End If

    [MoreCode]
    If Condition2 Then
      Exit For
    End If

    [...]

Thanks for your comments

I've always used an Do While loop. This works with both For type loops.

For iIndex = 0 to 100
  Do
    If bCondition then Exit Do
    ...
  Loop While False
Next

IMHO, this just looks clean. I just saw Crush's answer, at the bottom. Sorry for the duplicate answer.

I think you are intended to contain ALL YOUR LOGIC under your if statement. Basically:

' PRINTS EVERYTHING EXCEPT 4
For i = 0 To 10
  ' you want to say
  ' If i = 4 CONTINUE but VBScript has no continue
  If i <> 4 Then ' just invert the logic
    WSH.Echo( i )
  End If
Next

This can make the code a bit longer, but some people don't like break or continue anyway.
