Read format for fortran 77

[npbauman]

I have the following line in an seperate output file:

CR-EOMCC(2,3),A E= -452.5031405006

Now i want to read the CR-EOMCC(2,3),A part as a whole character string, but when i do so normally it only reads the "CR-EOMCC(2" and stops at the comma. I want it to read past the first two commas but stop at the first space. I don't want to specify a specific length of the character string because it sometimes changes in length, so i want it to be kinda general when reading.

My question is really how do i specify how many commas or spaces to ignore when reading. Also, I am doing this all in fortran 77.

Thank you

I would read the entire line into a character array kind of variable, then, you can take your time inspecting it and setting indices...when you know what part of it you want, then, you simply:

str = line(i:j)

is it clear?
