I have a for loops that goes from 1 to 256

I test the number and exception is thrown if there is an error.

How do I get the program to stop in the middle of the loop and go to the
next increment if an exception is thrown. I can only figure out how to exit
the loop.

'read the text file

line = sr.ReadLine()

Do While Not line Is Nothing

subnet = line.Remove(line.Length - 1, 1)

For ip = 1 To 256

computer = subnet & ip

' Connect to IP and send results

Dim scope As New ManagementScope("\\" & computer & "\root\cimv2")

Dim objectQuery As New ObjectQuery("select * from Win32_OperatingSystem")

Dim searcher As New ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, objectQuery)

Dim os As ManagementObject

Try

scope.Connect()

Catch ex As Exception

WOULD LIKE TO EXIT LOOP HERE AND GO ON TO NEXT NUMBER

End Try

For Each os In searcher.Get()

osname = os("caption")

dirname = os("windowsdirectory")

servername = os("name")

End If

Next os
