Friends,
I need to read a binary file using a Fortran 77 code to integrate with
a legacy code.... It looked very much complicated to me for I have no
knowledge in Fortran.
I could read the file with ease using Python, as shown in the
following.
###################
from numpy import* #Importing modules
from struct import unpack
f = open('bindata', 'rb') #Opening binary file for reading
A = zeros(20) #Initializing "empty" array
for i in xrange(20):
data = unpack('f', f.read(4)) # Unpacking 32-bit data, C-float
A[i]+=data
============
Sample output:
>>> A
array([ 239., 309., 298., 280., 286., 250., 190., 200., 226.,
.
.
.
214., 243., 439., 565., 564., 546., 142., 87.,
118.])
######################
As you can see, data values are 4-byte long (float) and byte order is
little endian (Intel machine).
I intend to post this to a fortran users group but if you know, kindly
give a piece of advice.
Thanks to all those who will help.
