hypermesh create entity "if file exists"

Suslu

Hi all

I am creating comps with for loop, however i really dont know how to catch error in TCL.

I want to skip the error " A component by that name already exists in database"

Regards

for {set i 10} {$i <20} {incr i} {

*createentity comps name=pshell.$i id=$i
if { [catch {set $i [expr $i + 1] }] } {

set $i [expr $i + 1]
}
}

there is command 'hm_entityinfo exist'

An example checking if some SET exists, below. If not, it is created.

        if { [hm_entityinfo exist sets "$name" -byname] ==1 } {
           #else
       } else {
           *createentity sets cardimage=SET_ELEM includeid=0 name=$name
           *setvalue sets name=$name STATUS=0 5422=LIST
       }
