Stein Vidar is right, of course. I was going to forego
the code entirely because I only had 10 minutes before
I had to pick up the kids, but I though, "Nah, piece of
cake."

But then I got shaken by having to do two things in the
same piece of code. Yikes! Since I've become infatuated
with object programming I've become a one-piece-of-code-
for-one-specific-thing kind of a guy. I just completely
forgot how to write that one-size-fits-all type of code.
My humble apologies. :-)

Cheers,

David

Nope. That was spaghetti, not pseudo.... :-)
Jumping out of and then back into FOR loops gives me
goosebumps.


FOR j=0,n DO BEGIN
catch,error
IF error NE 0 THEN BEGIN
print,!Err_String
goto,CONTINUE_GIF
ENDIF

read_gif,....

CONTINUE_GIF:
ENDFOR
catch,/cancel ;; A matter of purity..


FOR j=0,n DO BEGIN
catch,error
IF error NE 0 THEN BEGIN
print,!Err_String
goto,CONTINUE_TIFF
ENDIF

read_tiff,....

CONTINUE_TIFF:
ENDFOR
catch,/cancel ;; A matter of purity..

Stein Vidar

I just looked at the code for these two routines and both
return to the caller of the program when an error occurs
(ON_ERROR, 2). I should think a simple CATCH in the routine
that called either one of these programs would catch
errors. Then you could proceed in whatever manner seemed
appropriate.

Your code might look like this:

Catch, error
IF error NE 0 THEN BEGIN
Print, !Err_String
CASE loopFlag OF
1: GOTO, GIF_LOOP
2: GOTO, TIFF_LOOP
ENDCASE
ENDIF

loopFlag = 1
GIF_LOOP:
FOR j=0,n, DO READ_GIF, ....

loopFlag = 2
TIFF_LOOP:
for j=0, n DO READ_TIFF, ...

This is pseudo code, of course. :-)

Cheers,

David
