Hi All
I have a problem in the work with Fortran90. I have a file that don't have any idea for read it. It consiste of number and character.For example it includes as below
1 15193r 8 9r 4 6 74r,...
I want to write these numbers in 2 columns. For example
1 15193
8 9
4 0
6 74
terms with r show the number of iteratin and number ( that after it doesn't exist term with r) shows that this number has no iteration. Please help me.

Thanks a lot.

Honestly Fortran is one of the worst languages for that type of problem. It would probably be quicker to do it in Python, even if you had to teach yourself the basics of Python first.

Do you have any other languages available?
 
Thanks Uart.But I had to solve this problem with Fortran90.
 
I have a problem in write arrays also.How I do write rows and columns in file as matrix.
For example I use this program:
do i=1,10
write(12,*)(x(i,j),j=1,20)
end do
but in file only 4columns are showed and 20columns are breaked.Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot.

Hi ne 237

If the matrix only has 20 columns then try using to following

write(12,*) x(i,:)

If it's got more than 20 (but you only want to output the first 20) try

write(12,*) x(i,1:20)
 
Thanks a lot Uart for reply
But I want to the output will be as below:
1 2 2 3 2 3 4 3 5 3 5 3 6 4 5 8 9 45 65 14
...
...
...
that is 20columns (or more in other program)write in different rows.
 
Yeah that's how it works for me (you still need the outer for loop of course).

do i=1,10
write(12,*) x(i,:)
end do

I'm using the freeware gnu fortran compiler "g95" and the above code correctly writes the matrix, whole row per line, to an output text file.
 
Thank you very much.
