[Rd] capturing multiple warnings in tryCatch()

[Fox, John]

Dear R-devel list members,

Is it possible to capture more than one warning message using tryCatch()? The answer may be in ?conditions, but, if it is, I can't locate it.

For example, in the following only the first warning message is captured and reported:

> foo <- function(){
+   warning("warning 1")
+   warning("warning 2")
+ }

> foo()
Warning messages:
1: In foo() : warning 1
2: In foo() : warning 2

> bar <- function(){
+   tryCatch(foo(), warning=function(w) print(w))
+ }

> bar()
<simpleWarning in foo(): warning 1>

Is there a way to capture "warning 2" as well?

Any help would be appreciated.

John
