Re: Getting Fortran to read CTRL/Z in a file as data


After the fortran read has seen the EOF, try to read the next line. If
that also is EOF, you found the real EOF (or the second ^Z in
succession).
If the next read gets normal data you can go on reading the file

Yes, this certainly works. The problem is when you hit two or more CTRL/Zs in successive lines. How many EOFs do you take to be definitive?
