[Swift-user] Dynamic For Loops from Input File

[Matthew Shaxted]

Hi Swift Users,

I have a swift script that reads an input file of parameters and variables, and iterates through the variables in one for loop per parameter:

Input Sweep File Example:
pnum    pname                                  pvals
1              InfilRate                               0.0015,0.025
2              PreheatCoilSetpoint       15,15.5,16.0
3              KitchenGasPD                   200,250

Swift File For Loops:
foreach v0 in pval[0] {
foreach v1 in pval[1] {
foreach v2 in pval[2] {

As of now, I need to hard code in the number of for loops in the Swift script to match those of the input file parameters, and I'm thinking there must be a better way.

I'm wondering if there is a more dynamic way to have Swift loop through the parameters without having to hard code in the for loops? For example, if I define 5 parameters in the input file, the Swift script would automatically know to add 5 for loops.

I was thinking I could create a shell script to read the input file and dynamically create the swift script with the correct number of for loops before running swift, but perhaps there is a better way?

Thanks,
Matthew
