Exception Loops

[Jeff Miller]

Hello,
I have an exception statement that needs to loop if it fails...
something like this:

begin
contacts_folder = session.GetDefaultFolder(5)
rescue Exception
(GO BACK AND TRY AGAIN)
else
blah blah blah
end

any suggestions?

Thanks!!

Easy, use retry:

begin
contacts_folder = session.GetDefaultFolder(5)
rescue Exception => ex
puts ex
unless $tried
$tried = true
retry
end
end

__END__

Output:

undefined local variable or method `session' for main:Object
undefined local variable or method `session' for main:Object
