Hi -- I want to be able to grab some details from an error, but not just the message. So I want a variable called result to be either the result of a method, or a property of the error raised by that method. If the property I wanted from the error was the message, then I could do this like this: result = my_method rescue $! However, what I want to do is call a method on the error, like so: result = my_method rescue last_error.my_other_method Where last_error is the mysterious means I employ to get at the error raised, and my_other_method is what I want to call on it. Does anyone know if this is possible? Cheers, Doug. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
