Uread
- Abstract
- UREAD is a fortran-77 subroutine library which supports
a standardized method for building, using, and automating
terminal driven interactive fortran applications. (UREAD
should not be confused with Ufiles, these are separate
NTCC modules). Fortran programs request input from
the user by issuing a CALL UREAD('').
The indicated prompt is displayed and the user's response
is read. Then, a variety of methods are provided to
aid the application program's interpretation of the
user response. In addition, the user can choose, instead
of answering the program prompt directly, to refer
the program to a script or "indirect input file", a
text file containing alternating program prompts and
user responses, to control the program in a partially
or fully automated way. UREAD's interpretation of scripts
supports a rudimentary but powerful programming language,
with variables, branching and looping, that allows
for sophisticated automation of the UREAD-interactive
applications program. UREAD has been heavily used in
applications programs developed for analysis of data
on PPPL tokamak fusion energy experiments, especially
on TFTR from 1983 to 1997. UREAD's automation capability
was a fundamental productivity tool in TFTR data analysis
operations.
