Forums Scripts & Popups on Error Resume next?

hey guys, i need help on recovering from an error. See this code:

i intentionally put a 999-char line in t.txt. i need for the alias to keep going with the loop after printing an error msg

thnx in advance

you can't mix the loop types like that
the goto nxt will never work as that loop has already exited
you dont need to fopen the file


you should see an error msg if there is one for line too long anyway

uhm.. thnx for the input, but i think u misunderstood me my problem is this:

when an error occurs (in this case, a 'line too long..') it HALTS the script. in the case of the alias i posted above, the loop doesnt get to finish /echo'ing the whole file. what i need is to be able to carryout the rest of the loop even if it encounters and error. (something like VBs' On Error Resume Next statement )

side note: /fopen & $fread makes things up A WHOLE LOT FASTER than using $read.

i assume that
/test {
var %m = $lines(t.txt),%i = 1
fopen t t.txt
while (%i <= %m) {
var %l = $fread(t)
echo -s %i = %l
goto finish
:error
echo -s line too long: %i
:finish
inc %i
}
fclose t
return
}
would work

sorry man, tried it, but doesnt work
the echo -s Error .. part doesnt even trigger.

lets make somthing creative..

/test {
var %m = $lines(t.txt),%i = 1
fopen t t.txt
while (%i <= %m) {
var %l = $fread(t)
echo -s %i = %l
goto finish
:error
echo -s line too long: %i
:finish
inc %i
}
fclose t
return
}

goes to:
/test {
var %m = $lines(t.txt),%i = 1
fopen t t.txt
:loop
while (%i <= %m) {
var %l = $fread(t)
echo -s %i = %l
inc %i
}
goto close
:error
echo -a Error: /var line to long: %1
goto loop
:close
fclose t
return
}

Hey! Great job! ;D Works great! i did have to squeeze in an
inc %i so that the count goes up properly, but damn does it work! ;D thnx a million ;D
