The discussion centers on reading values from an ASCII file used in GIS, specifically focusing on Fortran code implementation. The user seeks assistance in accessing mesh values, such as water velocity, from the ASCII format. While there is skepticism about finding existing code in Fortran or other languages, it is noted that writing such a program should be manageable, especially for someone with experience in Fortran 90. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding file handling in Fortran and suggests that the data format is straightforward, but the challenge lies in determining the subsequent processing of the read data.

TL;DR
I want to read values from the ASCII file of GIS by Fortran code.
I want to read values from the ASCII file of GIS by Fortran code. In GIS, an area has meshed. Each mesh has an individual value (e.g. velocity of water). Here is the website that shows how the ASCII file is working in GIS.

I want to know if anybody has this code in Fortran or other languages.

I don't think anyone here will have an implementation in Fortran or any other language. It wouldn't be too hard to write one, though. You mentioned in your Intro that you have some experience with Fortran 90. Do you know how to open a file in Fortran and take input from the file?

The format of the data looks like it is fairly straightforward to read in a variety of languages. The real question is what the program should do with it after it has read the data.
