dear Tim,
I have not yet ran the function. I just wanted to be prepared.
The data is the html document and the code is the scraping code, but the point
is, the error might be from neither data nor code, but due to the
inconsistencies in the web page. THis can happen however perfect I make my
code. I think save () function in the body might save me, but any other faster
method?
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI

Subject: RE: handling breaks in a for loop
Is the bug in the data or in the code?
Can you identify the cause? Can you get a subset of the data to find the bug
using fewer resources?
If you can identify the root cause, then you can set an error trap.
If the error is a memory problem, they you either need to save, reallocate
memory, or get more memory.

Subject: [R] handling breaks in a for loop
[External Email]
dear members,
I have a very large for loop (basically a web scraping
loop) with 500 iterations(over different stocks). I am concerned about the loop
breaking midway.
My question is: is there any method to store the succesful iterations and
continue with the iteration (ofcourse, after fixing the bug) where the
exception occured? I can insert a save () function in the body of the loop and
save the succesful iterations but this would slow down the execution speed. Any
other method? I want to avoid trycatch as much as possible because an NA in the
place of a succesful iteration would cost me much.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI
