Fortran dynamic read statement 1

[PKCHRIS]

Hi,

I am having some trouble understanding what exactly a line in fortran is referencing.

The line in question is:

READ(77,*,END=10) NVAR(NN),(VAR(NN,I),I=1,nVAR(NN))

The data file I am reading in looks something like this:

 1 1 
 0.5852977040 0.6642564540 0.2807423770
    18.3411 
    14.2399 
    79.7194

I know 77 is the file unit number. And I know END=10 is a goto statement if for some reason the file read fails. I also know the first parameter will assign the value of 1 to the array nvar in slot NN.

Primarily, what I don't understand is what the latter part of the read statement means in parentheses. Any help explaining what the syntax means would be greatly appreciated.

Hi PKCHRIS

This is a built-in loop from 1 to NVAR(NN). The READ statements reads:

NVAR(NN), VAR(NN,1), VAR(NN,2), VAR(NN,3), ..., VAR(NN,NVAR(NN))

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed to know!
