How do i continue a loop after a exception? It actually captures the  
exception . How do i get the exception handler to start executing from  
4 to call the printstuff function?

def printStuff(inpu) ## just print stuff  
puts “printing” + inpu.to\_s  
if (inpu==3)  
raise RetryException.new(true)  
end

# raise RuntimeError

end  
def enter1  
begin  
[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8].each{|value| printStuff(value)}#call function  
to print.

rescue RetryException

puts " inside rescuedo nothing"  
###QUESTION: how to continue calling  
#puts dd.okToRetry

rescue  
puts “other exception”  
ensure  
puts “insode ensire”  
end  
end  
end

Try with

(1…8).each do | value |  
begin  
raise “Exception” if value == 3  
puts value  
rescue  
puts “That was exceptional”  
end  
end

cheers,
