problems with reading binary file

[milenko76]

I have this file,which is input for the program I am using.SO when I do od -h output I get:
milenko@hp6830s:~/Desktop/prog/fast/2d_example$ od -h fd01.picks

How to interperet? What is the record length? Is it int*2 or what?I am using Intel 11.1 Linux Compiler.

It can be anything you want it to be. Have you been given a spec for the data?

 

[milenko76]

No,actually I have made also similar input file from ASCII,but that one could not be read properly.

 

[xwb]

You could try it as 16 or 32 bit integers or 16 or 32 bit floats. For 16 bit integers, set the record length to 2, for 32 bit, set it to 4.

ASCII:
1.000 1.000 .020 .000 .000 -1
.000 1.000 .020 5.215 .050 1
0.250 1.000 .020 5.208 .050 1
0.500 1.000 .020 5.173 .050 1
0.750 1.000 .020 5.308 .050 1
1.000 1.000 .020 5.215 .050 1
These are just first six lines.Code:
character*72 ifname,ofname
c
write(*, fmt="(/'Enter input file name')")
read(5,85) ifname
85 format(a72)
write(*, fmt="(/'Enter output file name')")
read(5,85) ofname
open(unit=11, file=ifname, status='old')
open(unit=12, file=ofname, form='unformatted')
n=0
100 read(11,5, end=999) x,y,z,t,u,i
5 format(5f10.3,i3)
write(12) x,y,z,t,u,i
n=n+1
go to 100
999 write(6,1) n
1 format(/'number of lines in file: ',i10/)
stop
end
