Re: [Help-glpk] Can I combine "glp_mpl_read_model(, , 1)" with programmatically supplied data and also programmatically access results?

There is no way to provide model data other than specifying them in the
data section, i.e. in a text file.

You can obtain solution components directly from the glp_prob object
(built with glp_mpl_build_prob). For example, to retrieve the value of a
column (variable) you can use glp_get_col_prim. Glp_mpl_build_prob
provides symbolic names of rows and columns; for example, MathProg
variable x[1,a] is assigned the name "x[1,a]". These names can be used
to determine ordinal numbers of corresponding rows and columns (with
routines glp_find_row and glp_find_col). 

If your model has a simple structure, I'd suggest build it with glpk api
routines, i.e. not to use MathProg description at all. This is quite
easy and would resolve most interface problems.
