Im currently making an eval command and im having trouble catching and logging the error aswell as sending the output of my command in an embed, any help would be appreciated!

    } else if (message.content.startsWith(`${prefix}eval`)) {
    if(!message.author.id == "535235896530960395") return;
    var result = message.content.split(" ").slice(1).join(" ")
        let evaled = eval(result);
        const evalembed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
        .setTitle("Input")
        .setDescription(result)
        .setFooter("AG Bot")
        .setTimestamp()
        message.channel.send(evalembed)
        try {
        } catch (err) {
            message.channel.send(``ERROR` ```xl
${clean(err)}
````);
          }

The reason why no error is being outputted is because your try loop isn't actually doing anything. You should have the code inside of the try loop that you want to run and if it fails then you can have the catch.

    } else if (message.content.startsWith(`${prefix}eval`)) {
      try {
          if(!message.author.id == "535235896530960395") return;
            var result = message.content.split(" ").slice(1).join(" ")
            let evaled = eval(result);
            const evalembed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
            .setTitle("Input")
            .setDescription(result)
            .setFooter("AG Bot")
            .setTimestamp()
            message.channel.send(evalembed)
        } catch (err) {
            message.channel.send(``ERROR` ```xl
${clean(err)}
````);
          }
        }
      });
