For example the data file contains lines like this: 42 YOU ARE IN A MAZE OF TWISTY LITTLE PASSAGES, ALL ALIKE. Right after the number is a TAB character, and then there's a space character, and then the text. "42\t YOU..." 1004 READ(1,1005)JKIND,(LLINE(I,J),J=3,22) 1005 FORMAT(1G,20A5) 1G should read a number. I'm guessing the TAB is a separator here? In that case, 20A5 ought to read the text including the first space character. _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
