try.. catch..

Does sensetalk support multiple catch handlers? If I have some different errors to handle, how can I do that?

e.g.

Try

functionA
throw errorA

functionB
throw errorB

catch errorA
errorAHandler

catch errorB
errorBHandler

end try

Yes you can throw multiple handlers but you don’t use different catch statements (just a single catch). From there you can branch based on exception name or reasons.

try
	if random(2) is 1
		throw "this"
	else
		throw "that"
	end if
catch exception
	put exception
end catch

For more information refer to Chapter 7: Error Handling in the SenseTalk Reference manual.
