Try-Catch

Syntax

	try($eval, $catch)

Description

Executes a try block and handles any errors that occur using a catch function. The try function implements a try-catch behavior for TLScript that enables robust error handling.

The function works with two parameters:

  1. Try block: The code block or expression to be executed that could cause an error
  2. Catch function: The fallback function that is executed in the event of an error
If the try block is executed successfully, its result is returned. If an error occurs, the catch function is executed with specific parameters:
  • I18NException: catch function receives (ResKey, original argument)
  • Regular exception: catch function receives (error message, original argument)

Parameters
