问题描述
我想编写 trycatch
代码来处理从网络下载时出现的错误。
I want to write trycatch
code to deal with error in downloading from the web.
url <- c(
"http://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/base/html/connections.html",
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xz")
y <- mapply(readLines, con=url)
这两个语句成功运行。在下面,我创建了一个不存在的网址:
These two statements run successfully. Below, I create a non-exist web address:
url <- c("xxxxx", "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xz")
url [1]
不存在。如何编写 trycatch
循环(函数),以便:
url[1]
does not exist. How does one write a trycatch
loop (function) so that:
- 何时URL错误,输出将为: Web URL错误,无法获取。
- 如果URL错误,代码不会停止,而是继续下载直到URL列表的末尾?

Well then: welcome to the R world ;-)
在这里走
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 insided 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
Applying the code
> 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
调查输出
Investigating the output
> head(y[[1]])
[1] "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN\">"
[2] "<html><head><title>R: Functions to Manipulate Connections</title>"

> y[[3]]

其他备注
tryCatch
tryCatch
返回值与执行 expr
关联,除非有错误或警告。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(请参见上面的 return(NA)
)(请参见参数 error
和警告
在 tryCatch
中)。这些可以是已经存在的函数,但是您也可以在 tryCatch()
中定义它们(如我上面所做的那样)。
tryCatch
returns the value associated to executing expr
unless there's an error or a warning. In this case, specific return values (see return(NA)
above) can be specified by supplying a respective handler function (see arguments error
and warning
in ?tryCatch
). These can be functions that already exist, but you can also define them within tryCatch()
(as I did above).
选择处理程序函数的特定返回值的含义
我们已指定 NA
会在出现错误的情况下返回, y
中的第三个元素是 NA
。如果我们选择 NULL
作为返回值,则 y
的长度就是 2
而不是 3
,因为 lapply()
只会忽略返回 NULL
的值。还要注意,如果您没有通过 return()
指定显式返回值,则处理函数将返回 NULL
(即出现错误或警告情况)。
As we've specified that NA
should be returned in case of error, the third element in y
is NA
. If we'd have chosen NULL
to be the return value, the length of y
would just have been 2
instead of 3
as lapply()
will simply "ignore" return values that are NULL
. Also note that if you don't specify an explicit return value via return()
, the handler functions will return NULL
(i.e. in case of an error or a warning condition).
不需要的警告消息
由于 warn = FALSE
似乎没有任何效果,这是抑制警告的另一种方法(在这种情况下,不是真的很有趣)是使用
As warn=FALSE
doesn't seem to have any effect, an alternative way to suppress the warning (which in this case isn't really of interest) is to use
suppressWarnings(readLines(con=url))
而不是
readLines(con=url, warn=FALSE)
多个表达式
请注意,您也可以在实际表达式部分中放置多个表达式(参数 tryCatch的参数
)(如果将它们用大括号括起来(就像我在 expr
()最后
部分中所说明的那样)。
Note that you can also place multiple expressions in the "actual expressions part" (argument expr
of tryCatch()
) if you wrap them in curly brackets (just like I illustrated in the finally
part).
