Hello everyone!

This is another syntex doubt (that I couldn't find an answer elsewhere), now about UNWIND.  
As per my previous research I can't use FOREACH if I want to use MATCH after that. In this case UNWIND is recommended. Right?  
Below is a representative example. I even might be able to rewrite it to have a single UNWIND...

**BUT the main point is.... HOW COULD I force to go to next "item" in the "list" before executing new/next command line?**

.

```auto
01.	# Preparing and starting first UNWIND 
02.	WITH [101,102,103,104] as topusers
03.	UNWIND topusers as topuser 
04. MATCH ....
05. ....
06. # Preparing and starting second UNWIND
07. WITH topuser, .... as friends, [1,2,3,4,5,6] as list
08. UNWIND list as item
09. MATCH ....
10. ....
11. CASE .... value = value +1
12. ELSE .... value
13. END value
14. # Jump back to second UNWIND (line 08) to finish the list.... HOW TO DO IT????
15.	# For each "topuser", print "friends" and its final "value"
16.	RETURN topuser, friends, value

```

.  
The Neo4j version I'm using is 3.5.14.

Again, I really appreciate your help!!!  
🤩

One approach would be to filter the list to only contain those wanted for the unwind:

`unwind [x in list where <predicate>] as x ...`
