Hello,
In order to streamline data exchange between my fortran90 programs and a.o. matlab I decided to use hdf5 as the designated file format.
Everything works so far, except for the following: When I try to read a string in fortran from an hdf5 file, only the first character is read.
I tried a lot and I am really stuck.
A snippet from my code:
···
=======
filename = "foo.h5"
dsetname = "teststring"
stroutp = "abcdefghi"
dimstr = (/1/)
CALL h5fopen_f(filename, H5F_ACC_RDONLY_F, file, hdferr)
CALL h5dopen_f (file, dsetname, dset, hdferr)
CALL h5dget_create_plist_f(dset, dcpl, hdferr)
CALL h5pget_layout_f(dcpl, layout, hdferr)
CALL h5dread_f(dset, H5T_STRING_F, stroutp, dimreadtekst, hdferr)
WRITE(*,*) stroutp
CALL h5pclose_f(dcpl , hdferr)
CALL h5dclose_f(dset , hdferr)
CALL h5fclose_f(file , hdferr)
=======
If the variable "teststring" contained "This is a text", stroutp will contain "Tbcdefghi"
HDFView states the properties as having one dimension of length 1, and a string of length 14
Writing strings, and both writing and reading arrays of integers and double precision floats works fine.
I use the 64 bits intel compiler under both Redhat and Ubuntu linux 10.4
What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks in advance and best regards,
Martijn
