Re: [SOSlib-discuss] equivalent to observablesArray ?[Scanned]

[Eric F. <efe...@ph...>]

Hi Rainer,

No, I think this is a good decision, and I would not recommend to
reintroduce observables if they are unsafe and may change in the future.
As a C++ programmer, I am also supporting the hiding of internal
implementation and give a public, restricted interface to users.
Actually I just followed the structure of the odeSolver example that is
in the CVS, and which uses this method to dump the variable values into
a file, so I kept this method until now.

Now, I would like to dump the variable values only and not the
parameters into a file (the same way than odeSolver does). If I use
getVariableValues(), I would need to have an array with these value
names (or their index). Is it possible to have this list automatically?
Let's say I change my SBML model, I would like to avoid changing the
list of variable names in my program too.

Is it possible to have either:
- a "getAllVariableValues()" function that would automatically return
all variable values and names in an array
- a function that returns the variable names from the odeModel structure
?

Thanks a lot,
Eric
