Hello,
is there a way to suppress warnings like
% Type conversion error: Unable to convert given STRING to Double.
% Detected at: READ_TABLE 58 /home/ingo/idltools/read_table.pro
in order to not spam the console entirely? I'd rather have the programme
issue one warning for the entire read process instead of one for each
line of the table I'm reading...
I've been looking through the docs, but it was my impression that the
usage of on_error doesn't help...
Regards,
Ingo

If you need an urgent reply, replace newsgroups by vgap.

Read the entire line and process it as a string using the same format
that generated it... At least thats how it was done in the dark
ages...
Cheers

Turn off the switch on the back of that bubble-brained robot?

Seems like we all got off to a bad start this morning. We
should start over tomorrow. :-)
