I'm new to Revolution (I'm a long-time FORTRAN programmer), and am having trouble understanding how file input/output, arrays, and databases work in this package.
Here is some background and my problems/questions: I've created several complex air pollution modeling programs in FORTRAN. I want to use Revolution to act as the GUI interface to and from these programs. As a result, Revolution must read and write files which the FORTRAN programs use or create. Every line of these files are of mixed type: character fields, integer number fields, real number fields, scientific notation fields, etc. In looking at the Revolution documentation, it appears that I have to somehow read or write each line as a string, then somehow parse each field from this string. So how do you do this efficiently in Revolution? Please note that the files created by the FORTRAN programs are fairly large. The next question is how are arrays implemented in Revolution?. I've searched the documentation but haven't found anything. What I'd like to do is read in the FORTRAN files, putting the data into Revolution arrays for display or calculational analysis. How can this be done? Finally, I tam interested in the database capabilities of Revolution (especially the Valentina engine). I'd like to read in the data from the FORTRAN files and directly put them into a database so that information can be searched, manipulated, calculated. etc. How can this be done? I realize these are complex questions. But the use of Revolution for this project hinges on how well this can be done with the package. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated. Dennis F.
