I am trying user error handling using the ErrorProc but can't get it to work.What I do is the following:
1) I open several files named D1, D2, .... D10 using the following script:

for (i=1;i<=10;i+1){
win -t data;
open -w c:\temp\D$(i);
}


This works fine. But when for some reason, one of the files is not present, the script crashes and stops executing. I want the script to continue with the next file. How can I fix that? No matter how I use ErrorProc, it always stops the loop.

thanks
Paul

Try opening the file from a separate script section like this:

[Main]
for(i=1;i<=10;i+1) run.section(,OpenFile);

[OpenFile]
win -t data;
open -w c:\temp\D$(i);

If the 'open' command fails it will stop execution of the [OpenFile] section, but the [Main] section will keep running. (The for loop will go on to the next value of 'i'.)

Mike's solution is great. It's also the best way to do it in the regular version of Origin.



Another solution would be to perform file checking in the "for" loop using an "if" statement. Unfortunately, the commands required to do this are only available in OriginPro! If you are interested, feel free to contact our Sales Department at sales@originlab.com.
