Hi Bob, 'try / catch' doesn't seem to work in Jmol 14.4.3_2016.02.17 (application and applet at http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/jsmol/jsmol.htm) if it is used to check loading a text file using the 'load' function.
---- Example code ------------ function loadTest(fileName) { var fileData = []; while(true) { try { fileData = load(fileName); } catch(e) { print e; print "ERROR: could not load file '" + fileName + "'"; return fileData; } print "NOTE: loaded file '" + fileName + "' succesfully"; break; } return fileData; } x=loadTest("wrongFilename.txt"); print x; --- Output from application ----------- NOTE: loaded file 'wrongFilename.txt' succesfully java.io.FileNotFoundException: wrongFilename.txt (No such file or directory) --- Output from applet --------------- NOTE: loaded file 'wrongFilename.txt' succesfully <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>404 Not Found</title> </head><body> <h1>Not Found</h1> <p>The requested URL /jmol/jsmol/wrongFilename.txt was not found on this server.</p> <hr> <address>Apache Server at chemapps.stolaf.edu Port 80</address> </body></html> --------------------------------------- Regards, Rolf -- Rolf Huehne Postdoc Leibniz Institute on Aging - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) Beutenbergstrasse 11 07745 Jena, Germany Phone: +49 3641 65 6205 Fax: +49 3641 65 6210 E-Mail: rolf.hue...@leibniz-fli.de Website: http://www.leibniz-fli.de Scientific Director: Prof. Dr. K.
