Topic: Scan string handling function
With the simple program:
program main
implicit none
integer:: i, j, k, l
character*13:: text2 = '&&&&45678.2&3'
character*13:: text3 = '123445678.2&3'
character*1:: blk = '&'
open(10, file='output.txt', status = 'unknown')
i = scan(blk,text2,back=.true.)
j = scan(blk,text2,back=.false.)
write(10,*)'i,j=',i,j
k = scan(blk,text3,back=.true.)
l = scan(blk,text3,back=.false.)
write(10,*)'k,l=',k,l
close (10)
end program main
I read in my outpufile output.txt the following values: i = 1, j = 1, k = 1, l = 1. So it looks that scan does not return the position of "blk" in text2 and text3 as I understand it should be. Thx in advance and sorry for the trivial question.
