Disregard an item in a Loop with a specific property

I have this loop right here:

function sendBackOne() {
    var selected = paper.project.selectedItems;
    for (var i = 0; i < selected.length; i++) {
        console.log(selected[i].name);
    }

where selected is an array with items that i iterate over.

One of the items has a ''name'' property set to ''something''. I don't want to go over that element in my loop,i need to disregard it.

How would i go about doing that?

The best way i can figure is writing an IF/ELSE statement in the loop to check the name and if it's not ''something'' i do what i need to do.

Is this the best way?

Yes it is. You can also use a continue statement like this

var selected = paper.project.selectedItems;
for (var i = 0; i < selected.length; i++) {
    if (selected[i].name === "something") continue;
    ... // Whatever you wanted to do, goes here
}

Simple:

if (selected[i].name == "something")
    continue;

Use continue to head to the next iteration.
