The following fortran 90 program can read in a text file and then print it on the screen. This has an added feature that when the output covers the entire screen, it pauses and waits for the user to press the enter key to continue. I am currently using PAUSE to implement this feature. But I would like to know a direct way of reading in the enter key. Please offer your wisdom. I appreciate it!
program ex0905
implicit none
character(len=79) :: filename
character(len=79) :: buffer
integer, parameter :: fileid = 10
integer :: status = 0,count=0
logical alive
character(len=1) :: c
write(*,*) "Filename:"
read (*,"(A79)") filename
inquire( file=filename, exist=alive)
if ( alive ) then
open(unit=fileid, file=filename, &
access="sequential", status="old")
do while(.true.)
read(unit=fileid, fmt="(A79)", iostat=status ) buffer
if ( status/=0 ) exit
!write(*,"(A79)") buffer
count = count+1
if (count<24) then
write(*,"(A79)") buffer
else
!write(*,*) "Please type Enter to continue: "
pause
count=0
!read(*,"(A1)") c
!if (c==char(13)) then
! write(*,"(A79)") buffer
!else
! write(*,*) "This is not the 'Enter' key!!"
! exit
!end if
end if
end do
else
write(*,*) TRIM(filename)," doesn't exist."
end if
stop
end
