how to terminate nested loop

My Matlab code with nested loop is like the following:

for{
  while{
     if{
        break
       }
   }
}

I want the if statement to stop the while loop and do the next for loop.

It's obvious break will terminate the for loop as well.

How can I change that?

"break" only acts on the immediately enclosing loop. It already does what you want.

For example,

 >> for K = 1 : 5; X = 0; while true; X = X + 1; disp([K,X]); if X>K; break; end; end; end
     1     1
     1     2
     2     1
     2     2
     2     3
     3     1
     3     2
     3     3
     3     4
     4     1
     4     2
     4     3
     4     4
     4     5
     5     1
     5     2
     5     3
     5     4
     5     5
     5     6

You can see from the output that the break is working but that the containing "for" continues.
