Hi,
I would like to do something like this, to process exceptions:
try
if catch /pattern/
do this and that
else
do the ordinary thing
endif
endtry
Of course this is not real code, but catches do act like an ``if'', but
I do not know of a clean way to do an `else'. My sloppy solution was to
define a
variable to do it like this:
try
let s:number = 0
catch /pattern/
do this and that
let s:number = 1
finally
if number < 1
do the ordinary things
endif
endtry
Any better way to do an if/else conditional, with a catch statement?
Well, nothing can be caught if there is nothing between the try and the
catch.
Otherwise you seem to have answered yourself:
try
let s:exception = 0
" do something that might trigger an exception
catch /pat1/
let s:exception = 1
" do this1-and-that1
catch /pat2/
let s:exception = 2
" do this2-and-that2
catch " any other exception
let s:exception = 999
" do this999-and-that999
finally
if !s:exception
" there was no exception
" do this0-and-that0
endif
" do any final cleanup which might be needed
" whether or not an exception was triggered
unlet s:exception
endtry
Best regards,
Tony.
