Hello,
I am using python to go through all the files in a directory and minimize them using chimera. But the problem is I get and error when I try to minimize a file having Br. I have a lot of files in that directory. So is there any way by which I can skip the file that has error and go onto the next file? Any suggestion would br greatly appreciated.
Hi Divya, You can deal with possible errors using Python's try/except error- handling construct. Something like: <initial script code> for <each file>: <initial loop code> try: <code that might produce an error> except: <things you want to do if there's an error> continue <things you want to do if there's no error> <final script code> Check out this part of the Python tutorial about error handling: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/errors.html#handling-exceptions --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu
