Hello All: After trying to find an open source alternative to Matlab (or IDL), I am currently getting acquainted with Python and, in particular SciPy, NumPy, and Matplotlib. While I await the delivery of Travis Oliphant's NumPy manual, I have a quick question (hopefully) regarding how to read in Fortran written data.
The data files are not binary, but ASCII text files with no formatting and mixed data types (strings, integers, floats). For example, I have the following write statements in my Fortran code: I write the files as such: WRITE(90,'(A30)') fgeo_name WRITE(90,'(A30)') fmed_name WRITE(90,*) nfault,npoint WRITE(90,*) (xpt(n), n=1,npoint) WRITE(90,*) (ypt(n), n=1,npoint) and, WRITE(10,'(A30)') fname DO i=1,nfault WRITE(10,*) dbn(i),dtn(i),xfwnt(i),yfwnt(i),xfent(i),yfent(i),& & slpvlS(i),slpvlD(i),slpvlT(i),segdp1(i) END DO I then respectively read them into Fortran as: READ(70,'(A30)') fgeo_name READ(70,'(A30)') fmed_name READ(70,*) nfault,npoint READ(70,*) (x(n), n=1,npoint) READ(70,*) (y(n), n=1,npoint) and, READ(20,'(A30)') fname DO i=1,nfault READ(20,*) dbn(i),dtn(i),xfwnt(i),yfwnt(i),xfent(i),yfent(i),& & slpvlS(i),slpvlD(i),slpvlT(i),segdp1(i) END DO I also read them into IDL for visualization using the "READF" command. I was wondering how I might go about reading this into Python using NumPy. If this is not trivial, let me know and I'll just wait until the NumPy manual arrives.
