When running R in batch mode, I would like to detect certain errors and prevent them from terminating the script. Specifically, when I read in a file with read.table() and the file is empty, the script terminates. There are occasions when an empty file is OK, so I'd like to continue running. How can I catch such errors? -- Terry J. Westley, Software Systems Engineering Supervisor Veridian Engineering, Calspan Operations P.O.
