Fortran 90 - How to write all on one line

[dvo]

Hi I am trying to write the following into a file using visual studio 2005:

REAL :: X =5
open(1, file = 'File.txt')
write(1,*) X, X, X, X, X, X, X
END

Is there a way I can have the output on just one line?

I need it to be from the variable X instead of just changing it to '5'

The current output is:

5.000000 5.000000 5.000000 5.000000 5.000000
5.000000 5.000000

It looks like you'll need a format specifier to tell it to use fewer decimals places. Try something like :

write(1,"(7f8.4)") X, X, X, X, X, X, X

write(1,"(7f8.4)") X, X, X, X, X, X, X

Oh no. Regardless of how many decimals places there are, I need a code that will continue the output on the same line even if the output becomes too long.

I know it sounds ridiculous but this problem is for a larger program I'm currently working on that includes a kind of spreadsheet where I would like some values to all continue in one line.

Thank you.

Your original code writes all on the one line for me (I'm using the freeware g95 fortran compiler btw).

If I use the console as an output device (print *,...) then it uses multiple lines, but when I write to a file there is no problems - it all goes on one line.

Are you sure it's not just the program you're using to view the file? If you use notepad for example then make sure you have "format->word wrap" turned off. If the lines are really long then notepad with eventually wrap them regardless of that setting, but wordpad is better behaved (BTW. Are you running Windows or something else. What software are you using to view the output file?)

I am running windows 7. I used notepad and wordpad to view the files.
