SS_parlines {r4ss}

Get parameter lines from Stock Synthesis control file

Description

A simple function which takes as input the full path and filename of a control file for input to Stock Synthesis. Ideally, a Control.SS_New file will be used, so that it represents what SS thinks the inputs are, and not what the user thinks the inputs are.

Usage

SS_parlines(
  ctlfile = "control.ss_new",
  dir = NULL,
  version = "3.30",
  verbose = TRUE,
  active = FALSE
)

Arguments

ctlfile

File name of control file including path.

dir

Alternative input of path, where file is assumed to be "control.ss_new". Default=NULL.

version

SS version number. Currently only "3.24" or "3.30" are supported, either as character or numeric values (noting that numeric 3.30 = 3.3).

verbose

TRUE/FALSE switch for amount of detail produced by function. Default=TRUE.

active

Should only active parameters (those with positive phase) be output? Default=FALSE.

Details

It returns a table which should contain one line for each parameter in the model. Currently, only the first 7 values are returned, because all parameters have those values. In the future, extended parameter lines could be returned.

Parameter lines are identified as those which have 7 or 14 numeric elements followed by a non-numeric element. It's possible that this system could break down under certain circumstances
