How to break array-loop node

I use the array-loop node to browse the array,
I tried setting the node to break the array midway but it didn't work.
Please tell me!
Thanks.

For example, output to value C will break the array and continue to process outside array-loop

Can you explain what you are actually wanting to do with the loop, I suspect there may be better ways.

According to the documentation of the node you should:

When the flow exits the loop, the key variable can reset by setting to null, undefined or empty string.

So I guess you should send something like msg.payload = "" to stop the array-loop.

If not working, you can also raise an issue to that node github repository to capture the authors attention.

Tbh, I'm not certain that loop node is required at all. Pretty sure a split node would do this job. But as Colin said, what is the OP really trying to achieve.

Thank everyone for the support!

@Colin, @Steve-Mcl I would like to explain more clearly what I want to do as follows:

I have a CSV file named Summary_File_111222333_20200920.CSV (★), containing a list of files with information such as filepath, size, number of lines, ... of the file:

#filepath,date,size,rows
C:\Temp\Test\P_File_111222333_20200920.CSV,20200920,52,15
C:\Temp\Test\M_File1.CSV,20200920,10,3
C:\Temp\Test\M_File2.CSV,20200920,32,10
C:\Temp\Test\M_File3.CSV,20200920,22,7

I would like to check the information of the file such as whether it exists or not, the size is correct or not, the number of lines of the file is correct. (※)
Therefore, after reading the file (★), I created an array of 5 rows and put in the array-loop node to check the information (※).
If the information is not correct, it will output the error and break out of the loop, then execute the next node, but I don't know how to break out of array-loop when there is an error checking the file information.

Since I'm new to node-red, if there is a better way of doing file information check as mentioned above, please tell me!
Any hint will be great.
Thanks in advance.

Using split node you can loop through all files in Summary_File_111222333_20200920.CSV (★).
For each file you perform the validation logic and then you add a switch node that checks this validation outcome and if it is OK performs the file processing logic.

@janvda Thank you for your support!
I have a folder containing many Summary files:

with each Summary file having the same content as I mentioned above

After split 1 node will read file Summary_File1_111222333_20200920.CSV and for each line of file will make a check such as whether P_File.CSV, M_File.CSV exists or not, the size is correct or not, the number of lines of the file is correct (※).

Suppose, when checking information for line C:\Temp\Test\M_File1.CSV,20200920,10,3 for error,
I want to output error log and do not want to check the next lines of file Summary_File1_111222333_20200920.CSV,
but continue to check file Summary_File2_111222333_20200920.CSV,
what should I do to break at the loop of split 2 node?

Instead of using the 2nd split node you might consider using a switch node with as input the following payload structure

"payload ": {
    "lines ": <array holding all the lines of the current file>
    "currentLineIndex ": <index of the line in "lines" to process next>
    "errorEncountered": <boolean indicating if an error is encountered during processing of the lines >
}

The switch should check if "errorEncountered" = False and that you haven't yet processed the last line (using currentLineIndex and length of lines array).

Like in in the initial array-loop example. You need to feed the payload back into the switch node. When doing so you must assure that "currentLineIndex " and "errorEncountered" is properly updated.

@janvda Thank you for your enthusiastic guidance!
I will think and try it.
If there is a sample or reference document about what you instructed me to refer to, that would be great.

A sample flow showing how you can structure the flow.
