Yes, when you read from a file:

begin
  require "errorfile"
rescue SyntaxError
  puts "Syntax Error!"
end


erorfile.rb:
--------------------------------------------------
puts "this is a string
--------------------------------------------------

This is what I use with my cgi scripts / PrettyException.rb
