  • link to "try/catch" construct ?

    Please inform me of a link to somewhere which presents a description of the syntax for the EFS formula script "try/catch" construct. Been searching, but darned if I can find it.

    jcm,

    try this post - i tried "catch" as the keyword for my search.

    Steve Hare and Steve Meyer both refer to it.



    hope that helps.

      Thanks Kirk, but I still have not found what I am seeking.

      Thanks Kirk. However I had tried that plus seems like dozens more searches in many places with no luck. I bet the method for finding the answer will be common sense obvious. I have searched on 'try/catch' and 'try/catch block' with no luck. I find examples but no construct definition and explanation. I can infer a lot from the examples but that is not enough.

        Joe,

        Please "try" this. Open up the EFS Knowledgebase and in the Advanced Search block enter try. The first link on the resultant search results was pretty good IMHO. [Core JavaScript 1.5 Guide - Ch 5. Statements (1912) Statements: try...catch and...them using the try...catch statements.... ( 84.2 kb - 7/14/2005 )

        If you are having problems finding the knowledebase(s), please click on the links below.

          Thanks Steve, that did it

          Thanks Steve,
          That was right on the money. I am slowly catching on to how things are organized in this EFS world.

            Hi Joe,

            You are most welcome. I believe there are some very good references out there with this being a great synopsis of how the "EFS world" is structured.





            Here is a link to that article in the KnowledgeBase, which itself contains many excellent links.

            I particularly like the EFS Glossary, so much so that I included a link to it in my signature block (along with several others) below.

            Finally, since you are trying to code some complex indicators, it is very important that you learn JavaScript. EFS only represents some custom functions added to the JavaScript environment, but they still operate and conform to the rules of the environment. It would be worthwhile to invest in a good JavaScript book IMHO. I did and wished I had sooner.
