- Subject: practical use of iargc() getarg()
Since getarg() returns strings, I was just wondering precisely how one
converts a string to the proper numerical type desired?
Strangely, the manual (gfortran.pdf) really does not show any practical
example for using getarg() as regards converting to numerical types.
I = IChar('123') ! Integer (How are the other types handled?)
no matter how often I read through that manual, I see nothing about
obtaining a REAL (single,double, let alone their attributes)
from a String! Did I miss something?
I was going to try to process some simple formula's with float values
past from the command line, (a cinch for C/C++ naturally)!
Sometimes Fortran just utterly amazes me.
