with qualifying of any of the return sattement do the loop break groovy -

do loop terminates when qualifies return statement? when value null?

your question vague answered kind of certainty. hazard guess, however, i'd bet you're referring control statements within '.each' loop?

if so, short answer is: no, return (or break) not terminate loop. way via throwing exception within loop à la:

try{     (1..10).each{ n->         println n         if (n == 5) throw new exception()        } }         catch(exception){}

but, total abomination. use or while loop instead.

if i'm off mark, perhaps post code exemplifying topic?
