那么好吧:欢迎来到R世界;-)

设置代码
urls <- c(
"http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/connections.html",
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xz",
"xxxxx"
)
readUrl <- function(url) {
out <- tryCatch(
{
# Just to highlight: if you want to use more than one
# R expression in the "try" part then you'll have to
# use curly brackets.
# 'tryCatch()' will return the last evaluated expression
# in case the "try" part was completed successfully
message("This is the 'try' part")
readLines(con=url, warn=FALSE)
# The return value of `readLines()` is the actual value
# that will be returned in case there is no condition
# (e.g. warning or error).
# You don't need to state the return value via `return()` as code
# in the "try" part is not wrapped inside a function (unlike that
# for the condition handlers for warnings and error below)
},
error=function(cond) {
message(paste("URL does not seem to exist:", url))
message("Here's the original error message:")
message(cond)
# Choose a return value in case of error
return(NA)
},
warning=function(cond) {
message(paste("URL caused a warning:", url))
message("Here's the original warning message:")
message(cond)
# Choose a return value in case of warning
return(NULL)
},
finally={
# NOTE:
# Here goes everything that should be executed at the end,
# regardless of success or error.
# If you want more than one expression to be executed, then you
# need to wrap them in curly brackets ({...}); otherwise you could
# just have written 'finally=<expression>'
message(paste("Processed URL:", url))
message("Some other message at the end")
}
)
return(out)
}
应用代码
> y <- lapply(urls, readUrl)
Processed URL: http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/connections.html
Some other message at the end
Processed URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xz
Some other message at the end
URL does not seem to exist: xxxxx
Here's the original error message:
cannot open the connection
Processed URL: xxxxx
Some other message at the end
Warning message:
In file(con, "r") : cannot open file 'xxxxx': No such file or directory

补充说明
尝试捕捉
tryCatch返回与执行expr相关的值,除非出现错误或警告。在这种情况下,可以通过提供相应的处理函数来指定特定的返回值(参见上面的return(NA))(请参阅?tryCatch中的参数error和warning)。这些函数可以是已经存在的函数,但也可以在tryCatch()中定义它们(如上所述)。
选择处理程序函数的特定返回值的含义
正如我们已经指定的,在错误的情况下应该返回NA, y中的第三个元素是NA。如果我们选择NULL作为返回值,y的长度将只是2而不是3,因为lapply()将简单地“忽略”返回值为NULL。还要注意,如果你没有通过return()指定显式的返回值,处理函数将返回NULL(即在错误或警告条件的情况下)。
“不受欢迎”警告信息
由于warn=FALSE似乎没有任何效果,另一种抑制警告的方法(在本例中并不真正感兴趣)是使用
suppressWarnings(readLines(con=url))
而不是
readLines(con=url, warn=FALSE)
多个表达式
注意,如果将多个表达式用大括号括起来(就像我在最后一部分中演示的那样),还可以在“实际表达式部分”(tryCatch()的参数expr)中放置多个表达式。
