So after about 4 hours struggling with Try and TryCatch I am throwing in the towel. I have a more complicated function that used logspline through iterative distributions and at some point the logspline doesnt function correctly for some subsets but is fine with others so I need to be able to identify when the error occurs and stop curtailing the distribution and I think this Try or TryCatch should do the trick but I think I am missing something here. A simple example
result_<-list() for(i in 1:10){ if(inherits(try(sqrt(9-i),silent=TRUE),"try-error")){ #If sqrt fails result_[[i]]<-0 } else { #If sqrt succeeds result_[[i]] <- 1 } } I would expect this to fail only when i > 9 but succeeds each time. DO i need to specify something different where "try-error" resides? Thanks guys Cheers, Josh -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/To-Try-or-to-TryCatch-I-have-tried-to-long-tp4165578p4165578.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.
