How to continue a try/except

I'm currently learning about "try" and "except" concepts and I have a small question.

def sum_file():
    try:
        with open("text.txt") as entry:
            result = 0
            try:
                for line in entry:
                    result += int(line.strip())
                    print(result)
            except ValueError:
                print("Non-integer number entered")
    except:
        print("Non-existent file.")

Each line of the file is a number, some numbers are integers and others are floats. The code correctly sums the first integers but when the first float appears the program stops, when there are more lines further. How do I modify the code for it to continue the operation?

or you can use re to help you.

re.match(r".*\D+.*", line) match any line which contains one or more not [0-9] character

from io import StringIO
import re

text_txt = """\
3.1
123
4 b 5 6
     7.2   
c'] ? 9
  10
"""


def sum_file():
    with StringIO(text_txt) as f:
        result_list = []
        for line in [_.strip() for _ in f]:
            m = re.match(r".*\D+.*", line)
            print("Non-integer number entered") if m else (print(line), result_list.append(int(line)))
        print(f'result: {sum(result_list)}') if result_list else None

sum_file()

output

Non-integer number entered
123
Non-integer number entered
Non-integer number entered
Non-integer number entered
10
result: 133

You need to put the second try block inside your loop:

def sum_file():

    try:
        with open("text.txt") as entry:
            result = 0
            for line in entry:
                try:
                    result += int(line.strip())
                    print(result)
                except ValueError:
                    print("Non-integer number entered")
    except:
        print("Non-existent file.")
