Related Data and Programs:

CR2LF is a C++ program which reads a text file and replaces carriage returns by line feeds.

CRRM is a C++ program which reads a text file and removes the carriage return character.

DEBLANK is a C++ program which reads a text file and writes a copy which has no blank lines.

DECOMMENT is a C++ program which makes a copy of a text file which contains no "comment" lines (that begin with "#").

FILE_MERGE is a FORTRAN90 program which merges two sorted files.

FILUM is also available in a C version and a C++ version and a FORTRAN90 version and a Mathematica version and a MATLAB version.

REFORMAT is a FORTRAN90 program which makes a copy of a file with a given number of "words" per line.

REWORD is a C++ program which reads a text file and writes a copy which has a fixed number of "words" per line.

UNCONTROL is a C++ program which makes a copy of a text file which contains no control characters.

WRAP is a C++ program which makes a copy of a text file in which no line is longer than a user-specified wrap length.

WRAP2 is a C++ program which wraps long lines in a text file, but which wraps some lines "early", so as to avoid breaking words.

Source Code:

• filum.f90, the source code;
• filum.csh, commands to compile the source code;

Examples and Tests:

• filum_prb.f, the calling program;
• filum_prb.csh, commands to compile, link and run the calling program;
• filum_prb_output.txt, the output file.

Files used for some of the tests include:

• filum_prb_4by5.txt, a file with missing right parentheses.
• filum_prb_test.txt, a sample file.

List of Routines:

• CH_CAP capitalizes a single character.
• CH_EQI is a case insensitive comparison of two characters for equality.
• CH_IS_DIGIT returns TRUE if a character is a decimal digit.
• CH_LOW lowercases a single character.
• CH_SWAP swaps two characters.
• CH_TO_DIGIT returns the integer value of a base 10 digit.
• CH_TO_ROT13 converts a character to its ROT13 equivalent.
• DIGIT_INC increments a decimal digit.
• DIGIT_TO_CH returns the character representation of a decimal digit.
• FILE_COLUMN_COUNT counts the number of columns in the first line of a file.
• FILE_DELETE deletes a file if it exists.
• FILE_NAME_INC generates the next filename in a series.
• FILE_ROW_COUNT counts the number of row records in a file.
• GET_UNIT returns a free FORTRAN unit number.
• I4_UNIFORM returns a scaled pseudorandom I4.
• S_EQI is a case insensitive comparison of two strings for equality.
• S_LEN_TRIM returns the length of a string to the last nonblank.
• S_LOW replaces all uppercase letters by lowercase ones.
• S_TO_I4 reads an I4 from a string.
• S_TO_R8 reads an R8 from a string.
• S_TO_R8VEC reads an R8VEC from a string.
• S_WORD_COUNT counts the number of "words" in a string.
• TIMESTAMP prints out the current YMDHMS date as a timestamp.
