Henrik,
Please, stay with me.
there is a problem with the way tryCatch processes statements and that
is exactly what the help file does not describe at all. I am trying
catch=function(vec){
ans=NULL;err=NULL;
for (i in vec) {
tryCatch({
source(i);
Note that the error catch is calling your locally defined function.
Like anywhere in R, if you assign something to a variable inside a
function, it only applies there and not outside. The quick a dirty
fix is to do:
err - c(err, er)

source(i)
ans=c(ans,i)
}
},
Put the for loop outside the tryCatch(). /H

To be more precise, put the tryCatch() only around the code causing
the problem, i.e. around source(). /H
