Thread: How to handle this particular Exception

Hi there!

I call a function (called runFile) in my code that an external library provides me for running external scripts from file. I succesfully call any script I want to run, but the problem is that I don't know how to detect when the script I run is aborted by the user. I suppose it's done with the exception the API describes, but I don't know how to detect it. The description of the function in the library is the following:


String runFile (String sScriptPath)

Description: Run script from file(s)

Parameters: sScriptPath file name which is either full path, wildcard mask or just base name, in this case the file issearched in current directory or using ucam.db key.

Returns: String RUN_STATUS_OK if run is OK, otherwise returns message about issue encountered.

Exceptions: AbortException if any problem encountered during script call


And that's my code:

RunFileReturn = runFile("C:\\macros\\ucammacros\\Blocs.vhs");		
if(!isEqual(RunFileReturn,"OK"))
{
	promptStart();	
		promptLabel("");
		promptLabel("Hi ha hagut un error al repassar els pads als blocs.");
		promptLabel("");
		promptLabel("Aborta i recupera el circuit des de l'últim checkpoint.");
	promptEnd();
}

The thing is that I correctly run "Blocs.vhs", but if I abort "Blocs.vhs" manually during it's execution, runFile still returns me "OK". Probably it only doesn't return "OK" in case it cannot find "Blocs.vhs" file, but I would like to know when the user aborts during "blocs.vhs".

Could anyone tell me how can I do that? Is the exception described above what detects an abortion? Then, how can I use it?

Thanks and sorry for my english!

Read up on try-catch clauses in java. Google it.

No I cant. I dont know the library you are using and I dont know if the Exception is ever being thrown. Your syntax is fine.
You could additionally add System.out.println statements in the catch block to make sure the exception is really not being thrown. It might be that your prompt class fails after an exception, but that is just wild guessing.

I tried what you said and also tried with Throwable with no results. Looks like user abortion is not thrown, at least by the things I want to detect, at least knowing my syntax is fine I will be able to catch exceptions in the future.

Thanks for your help!

hello
you are welcome
with the help of long path tool, you have to handle.
