error trapping - what should be handled by user and what by *error*

hi,

 

i've written some input validation code, and i wonder what is really required to code and what can be handled by the autolisp *error* function.

 

secondly, for readability sake, since the validation code is long i were thinking to link it from a different sub-function . is this a good idea?

 

(this function is not going to interact with the user so i didnt use the getinit codes)

 

Thanks

Shay

eror checking

 

If Not polyline do in loop with a exit option "you have not picked a pline please try again or pick nothing to exit" de. Its a bit late if they have picked an object then they have no 2nd go. now where is my code example trying to find uses a while to check if NIL no object picked then (exit).

 

(while (setq obj (entget (car (entsel "\nPick Pline"))))

(if (= (cdr (assoc 0 obj)) "LWPOLYLINE")
(progn
; your code
; your code
 (princ "wow")
 ; your code
 ; your code
(exit) ; to get out of while
) ; end progn
(alert (strcat "You picked a " (cdr (assoc 0 obj)) " try again nothing to exit"))
) ; end if

) ; end while
