R help - Sep 2011 - How to terminate R program if found any execution error

Hi

  I want to terminate R process if there are any execution error. 

a="a"
b=10
c=try(a/b)

if(class(c)[1]=="try-error")
{
       stop("Wrong Input Value")
}

d=c*c



if c fails then it should terminate the process. 
Please can anyone help

Keep the try(a/b), but replace the conditional with

if (inherits(c, "try-error")) q("no")

See ?q if you want to set an error status to be returned, or do want to 
save the workspace, etc.

(And do use inherits() rather than comparing to a particular entry: 
your code will probably work in this example, but it's not the right way 
to test the class of something, and some day "try-error" might not be 
the first entry.)
