# Fortran Namelist Reader

![ci](https://github.com/scivision/fortran-namelist/workflows/ci/badge.svg)

Pure Python and Matlab **readers** for

[Fortran namelist](https://github.com/scivision/fortran2018-examples/tree/master/namelist)

=> dict / struct

These are as basic as possible, for putting in your own program directly.

They output dict (Python) or struct (Matlab).

Consider

[f90nml](https://github.com/marshallward/f90nml)

for a full-featured read/write Fortran namelist Python package.

## Python

```python

from read_namelist import read_namelist

print(read_namelist('example.nml', 'base'))

```

## Matlab

```octave

read_namelist('example.nml', 'base')

```

## Examples

[read.f90](./read.f90)

example shows that one must allocate arrays before reading a namelist array variable.

Character can be read with a variable (much) longer than known needed, then trim() to another allocatable character variable.

Despite what some forums say, reading namelist directly into allocatable just segfaults with Intel or GCC compilers.
