Use a txt file (X, Y, Z), with random values for X and Y, to get a new file X and Y are predefined 1

[Benali.2]

Anyone with experience with Fortran or C++. I have a big 3D geometric txt file (X, Y, Z), about 50k lines, but it's not perfectly structured, I mean X and Y are picked at random. I want to create a new file based on the data of the first file, where the values of X and Y are predefined, so the program calculates the new values of Z, and then the program creates a new text file. Please share a link to download a free simple version of Fortran or C++. Since about 2017, I have not used both languages.
Thanks in advance!

Why not just sort the file into unique X, Y values and then read them in and generate your Z values?

Don't really understand what the problem is. Are you asking a C++ or Fortran problem?

I need how to write a simple Fortran or C++ program to read a txt file of 3 columns (x, y, z) and about 50 thousand lines to create a new 3 column text file (x, y, z) with x and y predefined.

So just write it and if you hit problems that you can't figure out, post the code and tell us what errors you are getting.

Windows, Linux, Mac or something else?

Do a search for gcc or gfortran. If you want an IDE try VSCode.
