How to adjust the reading format?

[ranaobaid]

Hi,

I have a file which contains the following data:

(1.642725279821993E-015,0.000000000000000E+000)
(-1.001572459876100E-015,0.000000000000000E+000)
(1.272947723002678E-015,0.000000000000000E+000)
(-1.469368207939234E-018,0.000000000000000E+000)
(-4.339782372036402E-015,0.000000000000000E+000)
(6.649449890178669E-016,0.000000000000000E+000)
(1.828705241163553E-015,0.000000000000000E+000)

Will you please help me to know how to adjust the reading format in Fortran 90 to read the above data without the brackets"()".

Thanks in advance,
Rana.

It is not that you need to read the data without the parenthesis...I think you are looking at COMPLEX quantities, i.e., numbers with REAL and IMAGINARY components. So, to read this data, you simply declare the variable COMPLEX and use to read each number...the whole number will go into a single variable, "including" the parenthesis...then, when you need to real part of it, you use REAL(variable) and when needing the imaginary part you use AIMAG(variable)

For example, if you wanted to read the 7 numbers listed above, you could put them in a file and read them like this:

program rcomp
    complex c
    integer i
    do i = 1, 7
        read(*,*) c
        write(*,*) 'c = ', c 
        write(*,*) 'real(c) = ',real(c) 
        write(*,*) 'imag(c) = ',aimag(c) 
    end do
end program rcomp

where you need to run the program by simply using re-direction (no need to open specific filename, etc):

myprog < inputfile
