In most of my code I create a function to handle errors. looks something like this:
func errorHandle(err error, str string, ex bool) { if err != nil { fmt.Printf("error: %s -- %v\n",str, err) } if ex { os.Exit(1) } } This cleans up my code: inFile, err := os.ReadFile("Mydata.txt") errorHandle(err,"read mydata.txt",true) // The true will exit So you see that I can exit the program when there is an error, what I want to know is if it's possible to do the same thing inside a function, to where I don't exit the program but return from the function: func OpenFile( filename string) []byte { inFile,err := os.ReadFile(filename) errReturn(err, "read "+filname,true) When there is an error it would return from the OpenFile function, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
