Nested Exceptions

Ruby
1

Can anyone tell me if Ruby supports nested exceptions correctly? I have
tried finding documentation on this issue, but have come up emtpy
handed. What I want to do is something along the lines of this.

begin
Some common setup code that could cause an exception goes here
…
…
for i in 0…x
begin
# Other exceptions may occur within the loop.
rescue
# If an exception occurs within the loop I want to handle
the
# exception and continue with the loop.
end
end
end

thanks

Does this answer your question?

[gus@gusmac gus]$ cat tmp/exception.rb
#! /usr/bin/ruby

begin
rand > 0.5 and raise “Hi from Murphy!”
10.times do |i|
begin
i%2 == 0 and raise “Yack, #{i} is even”
rescue => e
puts(“In loop exception: #{e.message}”)
end
end
rescue => e
puts(“Setup failed: #{e.message}”)
end
[gus@gusmac gus]$ ruby tmp/exception.rb
Setup failed: Hi from Murphy!
[gus@gusmac gus]$ ruby tmp/exception.rb
In loop exception: Yack, 0 is even
In loop exception: Yack, 2 is even
In loop exception: Yack, 4 is even
In loop exception: Yack, 6 is even
In loop exception: Yack, 8 is even
