Hello All, In some package I use a c-routine which calls a fortran routine which expects a char-string as input.
As per the writing R-extensions manual, the Fortran routine is declared in C as: void F77_NAME (setoptions) (char **option); and then it is calles as follows: char **option; option = new char*[1]; option[0] = new char[256]; option[0] = strcpy(option[0],"Iteration Limit = 100"); Rprintf(option[0]); F77_CALL (setoptions) (option); Unfortunately this does not work, ie the fortran routine setoptions does not correctly get the intended character string. Can anyone point me to a working example of passing characters from C to Fortran? Or tell me what's wrong in my code above? My platform is below, I use R CMD INSTALL to compile and install the complete package. thanks in advance, ingmar visser platform powerpc-apple-darwin6.8 arch powerpc os darwin6.8 system powerpc, darwin6.8 status major 1 minor 9.0 year 2004 month 04 day 12 language R ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
