Hmmm... this might be your problem, but I humbly suggest that the actual problem
is that you are passing a string array (of length 1, true, but nonetheless an
array) to a routine that expects a scalar. Try read_ascii(your_string(0)).

An interesting program, no doubt, but incomprehensible to my poor eyes. Perhaps
next time you might send it as simple text rather than encoded?
