chrpak

chrpak, a FORTRAN90 code which handles characters and strings.

The code began when I simply wanted to be able to capitalize a string. Now it has expanded to a number of interesting uses. Many unusual situations are provided for, including

• string '31.2' <=> numeric value 31.2;
• uppercase <=> lowercase;
• removal of control characters or blanks;
• sorting, merging, searching.

Many of the routine names begin with the name of the data type they operate on:

• B4 - a 4 byte word;
• CH - a character;
• CHVEC - a vector of characters;
• DEC - a decimal fraction;
• DIGIT - a character representing a numeric digit;
• I4 - an integer ( kind = 4 );
• R4 - a real ( kind = 4 );
• R8 - a real ( kind = 8 );
• RAT - a ratio I/J;
• S - a string;
• SVEC - a vector of strings;
• SVECI - a vector of strings, implicitly capitalized;
