Question

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:

while read Line
do
    //some sample conditions
    a=$Line
    if [ "a" == "b" ]
        //i want to go to the next line from this point. 
done < **inputfile**

Any help would be appreciated.
