I can not read character "0A" in a bmp file with "Compaq Visual Fortran 6.6C"

Hi,

How to read character "0A" in a bmp file with "Compaq Visual Fortran 6.6C"
Here's an excerpt from bmp file:
42 4D 16 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 36 00 00 00 28 00
00 00 10 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 01 00 18 00 00 00
Because the meeting this character appears error: "forrtl: severe (268): end of record during read, unit 1, file 16x10.bmp"

Thanks

it seems you are trying to read a binary file with an ascii read function or you've not opened the file as binary.

The 0A you mention is a linefeed character, commonly used to terminate lines of text in ascii files and stripped off when you read a line of text.

BMP files are images files (screen shots...) created on windows machines or by image editors that support that file type.

What fortran interpreter?

Here are some of the source code:

subroutine read_bmp_header(nfile, file_size, hpix, vpix)

! file_size - in bits
! hpix - numbers horizontal pixels
! vpix - numbers vertical pixels
! reading remains the first pixel

implicit none

character *54 header
character *8 fs, hm, vm
character *4 h

integer (2) i, j, nfile
integer (4) file_size, hpix, vpix

read(nfile, '(a)', advance = 'no') header
do i = 1, 4
j = 7 - i
h(i:i) = header(j:j)
j = 2 * i
write(fs(j-1:j), '(z2.2)') ichar(h(i:i))
j = 23 - i
h(i:i) = header(j:j)
j = 2 * i
write(hm(j-1:j), '(z2.2)') ichar(h(i:i))
j = 27 - i
h(i:i) = header(j:j)
j = 2 * i
write(vm(j-1:j), '(z2.2)') ichar(h(i:i))
end do

read(fs, '(z8)') file_size
read(hm, '(z8)') hpix
read(vm, '(z8)') vpix
return
end

Crashes when reading header !

you're reading a binary file with as if it were a text file. You need to modify your read to open the file as binary.

Notice the open statement with the form=binary

open (55,file=xxx,access='DIRECT',form='BINARY',recl=1)

 

[justsomeguy]

Where is your open() statement for nfile? That is what needs changed. You need FORM='BINARY' in the compaq fortran interpreter.

 

[roy437]

Here is the calling unit:

implicit none

integer (4) file_size, hpix, vpix
integer (2) k, l, m

character *100 fisi
character *54 header
character *1, allocatable :: r(:), g(:), b(:)

open(1, file = fisi)

call read_bmp_header(int2(1), file_size, hpix, vpix)

 

[justsomeguy]

You need to pass in UNFORMATTED or BINARY for the open mode as discussed. This should help you: http://jp.xlsoft.com/documents/intel/cvf/cvf_pg.pdf

What fortran interpreter?

FORTRAN is interpreted?

FORTRAN is interpreted?

Yeah, I had the same question. I think he must be using the word in the English language sense, not the computer science sense.

 

[justsomeguy]

Using it in the "vmware is melting my brain in another window" sense. Apologies.

Thank you very much to jedishrfu and justsomeguy !
