Hello Group,

I have an R-function that works fine for most part but sometime runs into a
long loop! (I'm lazy and short on time to debug right now so want to do
something easy)
For my purpose, it is ok to make few errors .... is there a way I can put a
timeout on a function and the r-process needes to move on to the next step?

See the help on setTimeLimit(transient = FALSE) . Unlike other suggestions, that does not need you to change the code to check the time.
