Use them in for() loops. For example, listing through all mobs in the world:

Delete the first mob with an "n" in their name:

for(var/mob/M in world)
  if(findtext(M.name, "n"))
    del(M)
    break // end the loop


Or, delete all mobs without "n" in their name:

for(var/mob/M in world)
  if(findtext(M.name, "n"))
    continue // skip to the next item in the loop
  del(M)


There might be other ways to use them, but thats all I could think of without looking in the Reference to be sure.
