R help - Aug 2009 - Running an error-prone R script using 'source' command

Hi All,

I am running a semi-stable algorithms from an R script file using
'source'.

At a certain point one of the algorithms will most probably return an error
and crash the run.

What I would like to do is to make [R] keep running and just skip to the
next command line in the external script file...

I have tried using 'try' 'tryCatch' blocks and
'dump.frames' without success.

Thanks,
Nir

What do you mean "without success"?  Can you provide specifics.  They
work fine for me.  You need to give details of how you are using it in
your script and what conditions you see that make you think it is not
working.
