Parsing command line inputs

[srinivasanvinci]

Hi - is there a recommended way to parse command line inputs in pyamrex? I am currently doing what I show below, but, its not reading all the elements of the list n_cell, only the first element. In fact it treats n_cell as an integer and. not a list.

import amrex.space2d as amr

amr.initialize([])

pp = amr.ParmParse("")
pp.addfile("burgers.inp")

n_cell = [64, 64]
print(f"n_cell: {n_cell}")
# _, n_cell = pp.query_int("n_cell")
n_cell = pp.query_int("n_cell")
print(f"n_cell: {n_cell}")


amr.finalize()

the input file bugers.inp looks like this:

 n_cell = 128 128

the output of the code is

Initializing AMReX (25.11)...
AMReX (25.11) initialized
n_cell: [64, 64]
n_cell: (True, 128)
AMReX (25.11) finalized

Any help is appreciated. THanks.

I don't know the plan for the getter and query interface. Currently there is a comment, // TODO: getters and queries in the code. Nevertheless, you can work around it by calling pp.query_int("n_cell", 1) to get the second value.

That works, Thanks!!

Follow up - how do you query string inputs? There doesnt seem to be a get_string or query_string method available - is there a way to do this?
Thanks
