Hi there,

I found some infos how to use the getenv() function in the manuel for e.g. 'USER'. Did you mean that Jack?

I think in terms of an automatic parse fucntion the getline() fucntion would be needed and sscanf().

Cheers

Leon

Btw, ever thought of offering a 'parse function' that automatically recognizes variables presented in this form in a txt file:

scalar num01=100
string strdir="c:\\"

I ask since it would be a way similar to R batch files where one can pass arguments.

I suspect you'll find the getenv() and ngetenv() functions very nice.
