Stop session if pattern exists?

Sorry, this one is probably pretty simple. How do you stop scraping if an extractor pattern is found?

More specifically, I have 5 or so scrapable files. if an extractor pattern is found in pattern 3 i want it to skip the last two scrapable files and end the session.

If the trigger is the only thing in the extractor pattern, it's super easy. Just have a script that runs "once if pattern matches", and it just has:

session.stopScraping();
