Dear members,
I have a function FUN1 that downloads some data from
the internet. It so happens that the function doesn't work the first time, but
on the second or third attempt it works. I want to run the function repeatedly
for four times if it throws an error:
X <- tryCatch(FUN1, error = function(c) {FUN1})
This runs the function two times. But I want to run the function four times if
throws an error, but on the fifth attempt if it throws an error, abort. I know
I can include the tryCatch call inside FUN1 and call it, but any short and
elegant code to that effect?
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely
AKSHAY M KULKARNI
