Break

Exits (terminates) any type of loop statement.

Break , LoopLabel

Parameters

LoopLabel [AHK_L 59+]
LoopLabel identifies which loop this statement should apply to; either by label name or numeric nesting level. If omitted or 1, this statement applies to the innermost loop in which it is enclosed. LoopLabel must be a constant value - variables and expressions are not supported. If a label is specified, it must point directly at a loop statement.

Remarks

The use of Break and Continue are encouraged over Goto since they usually make scripts more readable and maintainable.
