Fortran-write file to directory other than current

[ign]

Hello,

I am running a fortran f90 program and am writing outputs to several files,
the thing is I would like them to be written to a specific folder to better manage outputs
and so leaving the program directory clean.

here's a sample write sentence:

open(unit=3, file=val(i,1)//'_Brutes_lowV_thr_5_10_15.txt', status='replace')
do h=1, size(pmv)
write(3,*) YearList(h), pmv(h), lowV(h,:)
enddo
close(3)

where do I add instructions so that the file is written say in
an output folder located on the desktop (/home/ign/desktop/output)?

thank you in advance,
ign

solved the problem!

and to make it cleaner I declared a path

CHARACTER*29 :: path='/home/.../output/'

I then added path (followed by union slashes //) at the beginning of the file name

open(unit=3, file=path//val(i,1)//'_Brutes_lowD.txt', status='unknown')
