Read multiple numbers from console in Fortran

[vahid_s_]

Hi,

How can I read array of data from console in fortran with pressing only one ENTER?  I am looking for something like this:

[fortran]

REAL*8 DISPL(N)

DO 10 I=1,N
READ (*,*) DISPL(I)
10 CONTINUE

[/fortran]

But to read each number the user must press ENTER and I do not want that. I want to read all the data with pressing only one ENTER. Is there any way to do that? Thanks!

Your code enforces entering the data one by one, as you have effectively N read statements.

An alternative would be

READ (*,*) DISPL

or if you only wanted a section of the array instead of the whole array,

READ(*,*) DISPL(1:N)

Each item would need to be delimited by spaces, commas or ENTER.

Regards,

David

By default, each READ reads one record. With console input, ENTER signifies end-of-record. You can use either of the following to read N numbers from a single record. Read the chapter on I/O in a Fortran book. [fortran]READ(*,*)(DISPL(I),i=1,N) [/fortran] or [fortran]READ(*,*)DISPL(:N) [/fortran]
