From: Fortran_follower on 6 Nov 2009 10:25 Dear Friends, Recently I've started learning Fortran 95. I want to convert the date format mentioned below to Modified Julian Day format (MJD) 04-Aug-2001 00:10:52 04-Aug-2001 00:10:53 04-Aug-2001 00:10:54 04-Aug-2001 00:10:55 04-Aug-2001 00:10:56 04-Aug-2001 00:10:57 04-Aug-2001 00:10:58 04-Aug-2001 00:10:59 04-Aug-2001 00:11:00 04-Aug-2001 00:11:01 Since, the month is in alphabetical form, I am finding difficulty to deal with char/string arrays in fortran. Can any one please help me how to come up with this issue...!! Thanks in advance. Praveen.

There are two simple ways that come to mind. 1. Create an array (look up table) which contains 12 entries. Each of these is a character variable of 3 characters. For each record in the input file, loop through the list of month names until one matches the month_field. Then your array index is the month number. For example 'Aug' would be in position 8. 2. Create a single character variable of 36 characters containing 'JanFeb.......'. Use INDEX to find the position of the month_field within the larger string. Adjust that number to return a number from 1 to 12. -- e
