Lua continue script execution

I have a config file from a previous version of my software, the config file is basically a Lua script. I'm using swig to generate the wrapper to interface with the C API of my software.

The problem that I'm having is that some instructions in the previous config file was removed in the current version of the software.

When I load and run the Lua file the execution stop at the first error and the rest of the config file is not executed.

How can I make Lua report an error and continue the script execution at the next instruction?

You might want to take a look at the error handling section in the Lua Manual (look here for version5.1 ).

It all boils down to putting the "sensitive" code into a function and call it with pcall.
