An old-fashioned and I guess also advised-against method would be to
use try() itself, eg :
set.seed(1)
x <- rnorm(1:10)
y <- letters[1:10]
z <- rnorm(1:10)
for (i in list(x,y,z)){
cc <- try(sum(i), silent=T)
if(is(cc,"try-error")) {next}
print(cc)
}
Put silent=F if you want to see the error methods. See also ?try (and ?is )
