How can I use the try catch block such that if this statement fails xml <- xmlTreeParse(xmlTxt, useInternal=TRUE)
then this statement is executed xml <- xmlMalFormed() ? This code does not work but assuming its somewhere along these lines: tryCatch(xml <- xmlTreeParse(xmlTxt, useInternal=TRUE), xml <- xmlMalFormed(f1)) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/try-catch-block-tp17938467p17938467.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.
