array of .NET strings in LF Fortran v7.0?

[kschartz]

I am trying to use the Environment.GetCommandLineArgs() method in my code. This method returns an array of strings (string[] in C# syntax). I am familiar with the syntax for declaring a scalar string in Fortran using something like:

USE System
type(String), pointer :: ustr ! unicode string

However, I cannot determine the correct syntax for declaring an array of strings in LF Fortran v7.0

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The correct syntax is known as "assumed shape", and is specified with a (:).

For example, a program that retrieves the command line args might have code that looks like this:


use System
type (String), pointer :: cl(:)
cl => Environment%GetCommandLineArgs()
do j = 1, size(cl)
write(*,*) string(cl(j-1))
end do
end


You could also use the DIMENSION attribute:


type (String), pointer, dimension(:) :: cl

Thanks! I had forgotten about assumed-shape arrays. Your suggestion and example code are much appreciated.
