Bill, first off, thanks much for helping me through this. I think the best approach might be for me to attach the actual code.
I could probably do the if-else-else that you suggested. But I have eight different variables with the same basic issue (note that six of the eight are commented out while I figure out how to solve the tryCatch problem). So doing an "if else" for each variable seems like a lot of code. i'm thinking there must be a better way. What I'm doing here is setting up a dataframe full of addresses and then looking up data for each address on the web. Things seem to go well until one of the addresses I have is not valid. When that happens, the data I'm looking for (e.g. zest, bed, bath, sqft ...etc) does not seem to get set to NA. Note that the code works fine until about the 4th iteration when I run into an invalid address and I get the replacement has length 0 error. Any ideas how I can fix this so it works right without adding lots of if-else-else code ? http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n3658347/code.sher.pdf code.sher.pdf -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Help-with-tryCatch-tp3657859p3658347.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
