NARGS

Inquiry Intrinsic Function (Specific): Returns the total number of command-line arguments, including the command. This function cannot be passed as an actual argument.

Syntax

result = NARGS( )

Results

The result type is INTEGER(4). The result is the number of command-line arguments, including the command. For example, NARGS returns 4 for the command-line invocation of PROG1 -g -c -a.

Example

INTEGER(2) result

result = RUNQQ('myprog', '-c -r')

END

! MYPROG.F90 responds to command switches -r, -c,

! and/or -d

INTEGER(4) count, num, i, status

CHARACTER(80) buf

REAL r1 / 0.0 /

COMPLEX c1 / (0.0,0.0) /

REAL(8) d1 / 0.0 /

num = 5

count = NARGS()

DO i = 1, count-1

CALL GETARG(i, buf, status)

IF (status .lt. 0) THEN

WRITE (*,*) 'GETARG error - exiting'

EXIT

END IF

IF (buf(2:status) .EQ.'r') THEN

r1 = REAL(num)

WRITE (*,*) 'r1 = ',r1

ELSE IF (buf(2:status) .EQ.'c') THEN

c1 = CMPLX(num)

WRITE (*,*) 'c1 = ', c1

ELSE IF (buf(2:status) .EQ.'d') THEN

d1 = DBLE(num)

WRITE (*,*) 'd1 = ', d1

ELSE

WRITE(*,*) 'Invalid command switch: ', buf (1:status)

END IF
