This function extracts from a text file the value(s) of a given parameter.
.getParam(params.lines, flag, flag.split, is.num = TRUE)a string corresponding to the name of the file
from which to extract the parameter value
a string corresponding to the parameter name to be
extracted and that must be present into the param.lines file
a string to choose the concerned type of parameter
(either " " or "^--.*--$"), depending on the type of parameter
file (containing values or filenames)
default TRUE.
If TRUE, the extracted
parameter is considered to be numeric and will be processed as such
A vector containing one or more values of type string
(if is.num = FALSE) or numeric (if is.num = TRUE).
