class NMatrix::IO::FortranFormat::Reader

Class for reading strings in FORTRAN format for specifying attributes of numerical data in a file. Supports F (float), E (exponential) and R (real).

Usage¶ ↑

p = NMatrix::IO::FortranFormat::Reader.new("(16I5)")
v = p.parse
puts v #=> { :format_code => "INT_ID", 
       #=>   :repeat      =>       16,
       #=>   :field_width =>        5 }

Public Class Methods

Accepts a string in FORTRAN format and initializes the NMatrix::IO::FortranFormat::Reader object for further parsing of the data.

Arguments¶ ↑

string - FORTRAN format string to be parsed.

# File lib/nmatrix/io/fortran_format.rb, line 54
def initialize string
  @string = string
end

Public Instance Methods

Parses the FORTRAN format string passed in initialize and returns a hash of the results.

Result Hash Format¶ ↑

Take note that some of the below parameters may be absent in the hash depending on the type of string being parsed.

:format_code - A string containing the format code of the read data.
```
Can be "INT_ID", "FP_ID" or "EXP_ID"
```
:repeat - Number of times this format will repeat in a line.
:field_width - Width of the numerical part of the number.
:post_decimal_width - Width of the numerals after the decimal point.
:exponent_width - Width of exponent part of the number.
