Hello, is it *really intentional* that the "silent" option of try() does only apply to the outer call in nested try constructs? I would assume that a silent try() should suppress all error messages regardless where they occur, even if they are already handled with other try()'s.
The error message itself should be (and is in both cases) reported by the return value of try(). Thanks in advance Thomas ## Old behavior (tested with R-2.4.1): > try(try(exp(NULL)), silent=TRUE) > ## Current behavior (R-2.6.0 unstable, build 42641, WinXP): > try(try(exp(NULL)), silent=TRUE) Error in exp(NULL) : Non-numeric argument to mathematical function > -- Thomas Petzoldt Technische Universitaet Dresden Institut fuer Hydrobiologie 01062 Dresden GERMANY http://tu-dresden.de/Members/thomas.petzoldt ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
