Cannot print the '/' character

[kontheo]

Hi,

I ve got a file that i m trying to print in fortran 77
that has a column of words. e.g.

one
two
three
four
fiv/e
si:x

My problem is that it can't print the "/" and
the rest of this line.

I need this to be printed because the real file that i want to print has a date in this format dd/mm/yyyy

the format that I use to print it is:
format(1x, a6)

I would appreciate any help

Don't quite understand the problem.

dd/mm/yyyy is 10 characters. Not sure what printing with A6 would do.

If you have tried

print *, 'fiv/e'

and you get five, / might be escaped on your compiler. Try

print *, 'fiv//e'
