12.15. - rp
read parameters from a file
lets you restore the values of parameters that were saved to a file using the
sp
, sP
, sf
or
sF
commands.
rp rp filename [set_num] or rp . [set_num]You normally use one of the save-parameter commands (
sp
, sP
, sf
or
sF
) described below to create the file that is to
be read.
The names of the parameters in the file must match the names
in the fit you are running, although values will be read and assigned
until a discrepancy in the names is found.
With the
.
option, the parameters will be read from the same
file you used the last time you entered the
rp
command.
If there is more than one data set in the parameter file, you can select which will be read by entering the set number as an argument.
If you are going to edit a save-parameter file and then use
rp
to read it back in, you must not change the characters in the parameter
names.
Initial and trailing spaces around the parameter name are ignored,
however, in the comparison of the current parameter names and the
names in the file.
