Argument to admb programs.

[Höskuldur Björnsson]

Dear all 

I have an ADMB program called muppet that I run with 

muppet and some admb switches like 

muppet -mcmc 1e5  -mcscale  etc.  

Can I in the program find out what arguments were used to call the program i.e what was the number of mcmc iterations?

But what I am really after is to see if I can add an option like 

muppet -mceval -lastyear 2019.  

Here lastyear is a parameter that has been read from input files but for certain purpose getting it as input switch might be more convenient.  

Thanks in advance

Below are some interrogations of commandline options, noting that the function option_match seems to do the tests you might be interested in. Also note some of these tests are looking for commandline options that are already part of ADMB e.g., "-mcmc") and others are ones I use in the code specifically. 

 int on=0;
  if ( (on=option_match(argc,argv,"-ind"))>-1)
  {
    if (on>argc-2 | argv[on+1][0] == '-')
    {
      cerr << "Invalid input data command line option"
    " -- ignored" << endl;  
    }
    else
    {
      cntrlfile_name = adstring(argv[on+1]);
    }
  }
  else
  {
      cntrlfile_name =   tmpstring;
  }
  if ( (on=option_match(argc,argv,"-om"))>-1)
  {
    oper_mod  = 1;
    cmp_no = atoi(argv[on+1]);
    cout<<"Got to operating model option "<<oper_mod<<endl;
  }
  if ( (on=option_match(argc,argv,"-mcmc"))>-1)
  {
    mcmcmode = 1;
  }
