text file reading, FORTRAN

[Huamei Yin]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. But I actually have tons of files to read. The files are
daily. So I cannot do it manually. And another issue is I have to display the
station names and my boss wants me to avoid special characters in the station
name.

Any other ideas? Thank you.
