Adding a "Clean interrupt" to Zenno

[Yann]

Every now and then I need to "Interrupt" a script in zenno for many reasons but when I do, I sometimes lose a lot of information (variables values, states, complete line from table and list currently being processed).

I think it would be very useful to be able to do a "clean interrupt" that we can catch in the script and perform a final action before the script's execution is getting killed.

An idea would to do an interrupt by error, meaning to voluntarily generate a "bad end" that we can catch in the script to output/save everything that is important before the script is killed.

The idea is not to debug but to cleanly voluntarily stop a script that runs for a long time. Even though it is not recommended to make loops with zenno sometimes we don't have a choice (or the alternative is too complicated to make it worth it).
Depending on the situation every now and then I need to interrupt the execution of a script (simply stop would not work since it is a loop that runs for a long time). When I interrupt the script I lose lot's of data (variables value currently being processed).
Ideally we could have a "clean interrupt" option that would be caught by the "bad end" function so I can output all the information I need. This would be better than having to maintain some temporary files when I would output everything all the time.

Hope it's more clear now

Hi. Like You already said...

Even though it is not recommended to make loops with zenno

Its not really recommended to make infinite loops in any programming, so I think You will have to learn to fight with such situations. Its just how it should be.

Thanks

The moment I wrote this I knew it would get back to me !

Even without loops, you never had to interrupt a script (maybe because the browser's instance froze...) and you lost the data ? If it would get caught by the "bad end" option it would be great.

Thanks anyways
