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
