printing fractions without leading zeros?

[Intel_C_Intel]

I have old outputs using MS fortran 5.1 for DOS where fractions are printed without leading zeros, e.g. .45.

My IVF 9.1.034 prints with leading zeros, e.g. 0.45.

Is there a way for IVF to print without leading zeros (forautomated output comparisons)?

Thank you,

Yair

No, sorry. The Fortran standard makes the leading zero for fractions optional. Most implementations display it, but Microsoft's did not. This is not under user control.

Instead, you can investigate diff tools mentioned e.g. here, (ndiff or numdiff), which can supposedly overcome the problems of small numeric differences (apart from just the leading zeroes). Disclaimer: I haven't used any of those so I can't comment on reliability or usability.

To be portable you will have to write edit function that takes a real and format, write to internal record, remove potential leading zero, return string.
