The program
module util_mod
implicit none
contains
function join(words,sep) result(str)
! trim and concatenate a vector of character variables,
! inserting sep between them
character (len=*), intent(in) :: words(:),sep
character (len=(size(words)-1)*len(sep) + sum(len_trim(words))) :: str
integer :: i,nw
nw = size(words)
str = ""
if (nw < 1) then
return
else
str = words(1)
end if
do i=2,nw
str = trim(str) // sep // words(i)
end do
end function join
end module util_mod
!
program xjoin
use util_mod, only: join
implicit none
character (len=5) :: words(2) = (/"two ","three"/)
write (*,"(1x,'words = ',a)") "'"//join(words," ")//"'"
end program xjoin
gives
words = 'two threeg9'
but I think it should give
words = 'two three'
