How can I read only the real data from a txt file in Fortran 90?

hi dears
I have a txt file as follows:
"

i want to read this data in fortran 90 but i need only the real data. So I don't know how i can read them in such a way that the first two line is ignored. using /-format the .exe file can'nt read the real data and an error related to input-variable type is appeared.
how you can help me.
thanks

Needless to say, whenever you are reading a file, you need to know ahead of time its precise format...otherwise, how would you know what to read where?

So, if you know that your file starts with 2 or 3 comment lines, all you need to do is read those line into a character variable (string) long enough to read the entire line, say, 80 characters long. After you are done reading those 2 heading lines explicitly, then you can move on to some kind of loop where you can read your data.

You don't need to read the lines into a variable, unless you want to print them out as a check you are reading the right file, or whatever.

read(1,*)

will read a line and ignore its contents.
