Have you looked at the examples from, http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/examples/api18-fortran.html
namely, Read / Write String Datatype (Dataset) h5ex_t_string_F03.f90 Scot On Dec 24, 2014, at 9:46 AM, Mark Carter <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I'm new to HDF5 and gfortran. I've able to read in an array of doubles, but I'm having problem reading in an array of fixed-length strings (actually bytes). My dataset is named 'dstamp', and according to HDF5View: No of dimensions: 1 Dimensions size: 2598 Max Dimension size: 2598 Data Type: String, length=10 In Fortran, I have overdeclared the size because I don't know in advance how many string there are, but I know in advance that the strings are of length 10: character (len=10), dimension(10000)::dstamp integer(Hsize_t), dimension(1):: dims CALL h5fopen_f ("whatever.h5", H5F_ACC_RDWR_F, file_id, error) call h5dopen_f(file_id, "dstamp", dset_id, error) CALL h5dget_space_f(dset_id, dspace_id, error) call h5sget_simple_extent_npoints_f(dspace_id, npoints, error) print *, "dstamp npoints =", npoints call h5sget_simple_extent_ndims_f(dspace_id, rank, error) print *, "With rank ", rank ! rank is 1 dims = (/ npoints /) CALL h5dread_f(dset_id, H5T_FORTRAN_S1, dstamp, dims, error) if(error.eq.1) stop 501 CALL h5dclose_f(dset_id, error) do i=1,15 print *, dstamp(i) enddo The problem is, all it does is print a series of "2222222222"s.
