[Scilab-users] Scilab control after an impossible calculation

[Mike Page]

Hi Paul,

Would Scilab's try-catch block do what you want?  For example:

for i=1:10;
   try;
      disp(1/(i-5));
   catch;
      disp("err");
   end;
end

won't crash when it gets to the divide by zero.

This is the more structured way, but you can use execstr with errcatch to
do the same thing.

HTH
Mike.
