Note that the error catch is calling your locally defined function.
Like anywhere in R, if you assign something to a variable inside a
function, it only applies there and not "outside". The quick a dirty
fix is to do:
err <<- c(err, er)

Please, stay with me.
there is a problem with the way tryCatch processes statements and that
is exactly what the help file does not describe at all. I am trying
catch=function(vec){
ans=NULL;err=NULL;
for (i in vec) {
tryCatch({
source(i);
ans=c(
To be more precise, put the tryCatch() only around the code causing
the problem, i.e. around source(). /H

Henrik,
thank you for the reference. Can you please tell me why the following
does not work?
vec=c("hdfhjfd","jdhfhjfg")# non-existent file names
catch=function(vec){
tryCatch({
ans =NULL;err=NULL;
for (i in vec) {
source(i)
ans=c(ans,i)
}
},

Could smb please help with try-catch encapsulating a function for
downloading. Let's say I have a character vector of symbols and want to
download each one and surround by try and catch to be safe
# get.hist.quote() is in library(tseries), but the question does not
depend on it, I could be sour
