How to exit to main loop in javascript

Question

these loops are iterating through arrays.

arrayFinalValues = [];
    $(arrayAccessRightID).each(function (i, val) {
        $(arrayNodeID).each(function (j, val1) {
            arrayFinalValues.push(val);
            arrayFinalValues.push(val1);
            $(arraySelectedValues).each(function (k, val2) {
                arrayFinalValues.push(val2);
                if (arrayFinalValues.length % 6 == 0)
                    return false;
            });
        });
    });

in the inner most loop when six elements are entered i want again to start from the outermost loop and in the inner most loop the index should start from next 4th element i.e., i want to in the structure 1,1,T,T,F,F,1,2,F,F,F,F. and so on. that is in the inner most loop the index should start from next elements.when i use return false in inner most loop it again starts with 0.i tried labels but its now working.

@PratikJoshi: `break` has no effect on jQuery's `each`. Putting it anywhere in the OP's quoted code would be a syntax error. — T.J. Crowder, Mar 26 '14 at 10:45

Try this, taken from here

$(arrayAccessRightID).each(function (i, val) {
    var shouldExit = true;
    $(arrayNodeID).each(function (j, val1) {
        arrayFinalValues.push(val);
        arrayFinalValues.push(val1);
        $(arraySelectedValues).each(function (k, val2) {
            arrayFinalValues.push(val2);
            if (arrayFinalValues.length % 6 == 0)
            {
              shouldExit = false;
              return shouldExit;
            }
        });
        return shouldExit;
    });
    return shouldExit;
});

I'm not saying you *copied* it (from me, I mean), don't get the wrong idea. I'm just saying that now that's it's corrected, it's redundant rather than incorrect. – T.J. Crowder Mar 26 '14 at 10:50

@T.J.Crowder here is the post I borrowed the code from : http://stackoverflow.com/a/12161949/1182982 – Yasser Shaikh Mar 26 '14 at 10:51
I thought you actually Answered yourself ,you just googled it :( – Pratik Joshi Mar 26 '14 at 10:52
Nice catch on the fact there are *three* loops. I didn't notice that. – T.J. Crowder Mar 26 '14 at 11:14
the solution is not working.already googled but not found anything helpful :( – user3463702 Mar 26 '14 at 14:57
Add a breakpoint and find out where its not working and post your finding here. Simply telling its not working wont make us know what is not working. – Yasser Shaikh Mar 26 '14 at 15:00
