writting formatted ascii file [message #36657] Thu, 09 October 2003 08:56 Go to next message

Hello,

I have a 13 columns by 5 rows floating that I want to save in a ASCII file.
I can use the following command:

openw, 1, 'd:\file.txt'
printf, 1, FORMAT = '(13(F11.4))', array
close, 1

My question is: How to replace the 13 value by a variable ?

By doing this:
a = 13
printf, 1, FORMAT = '(a(F11.4))', array

I get an error message or the format is not in the proper way.

Thank you very much.

Francois.

use
a = 13
s = '(' + string(a) + '(F11.4))'
printf,1,format=s,array

The format keyword takes a string variable as an argument.

Cheers;

Chris
