Hi Ryan
The key is to make sure that the try block is is only evaluating the read url
action and not find read.
The more you can narrow what an error try block is testing, the better you can
respond/identify to any errors.
REBOL []
secure none
sites: [
http://www.news.com/
http://www.herring.com/
http://www.slashdot.org/
http://www.rebol.com/
]
foreach url sites [
either error? try [page: read url][
print ["Error Reading (Possible Timeout)" url]
][
either found? (find page "REBOL") [
print ["Found mention of REBOL at" url]
][
print ["no mention of REBOL at" url]
]
]
]
Cheers
Allen K
