    The document discusses three methods in FORTRAN for counting lines in a file, checking if a file exists, and generating random numbers. It describes using Linux commands to count lines by piping the file through grep and wc-l. It explains using the INQUIRE command to check if a file exists or is opened using logical variables. And it provides a method to seed the random number generator using the system clock count to produce a different sequence each time.

    24 - Counting number of lines in a file within FORTRAN code

    If you want to determine the number of line in a given file within your FORTRAN code,
    you can do this following nice trick!
    program count_lines
    implicit none
    integer:: n
    character(len=60):: cmd
    cmd = "cat file_name.dat | grep '[^ ]' | wc -l > nlines.txt"
    call system(cmd)
    open(1,file='nlines.txt')
    read(1,*) n
    print*, "Number of lines are", n
    cmd = 'rm nlines.txt'
    call system(cmd)
    end program
    Thissimplecode,useslinuxcommandtofindthenumberoflines.
    Noticethatcat file_name.dat | grep '[^ ]' | wc -l returnsthenumberoflinesina

    26 - How to check an exisiting file in FORTRAN


    The inquire command in FORTRAN will help us to see what is on disk, and what is currently
    attached to units in our code.
    For checking whether a file is existing in the current directory (where our fortran code is there) or
    not
    we need to use

    inquire(file='file_name', exist=lexist)
    where lexist is a logical variable. if it is .true. then the file is exisiting in the current directory!
    We can also check whether a file has been opened in the code or not.

    inquire(unit=11, opened=lopen)
    or

    inquire(file='file_name', opened=lopen)
    if the file has been already opened, the logical variable lopen is .true. otherwise it is .false. .

    25 - generating random number in FORTRAN
    In Fortran one can use
    real:: rnd
    call random_number(rnd)
    to generate random numbers between [0,1]. But the problem is that if we reuses this peice of the
    code again, we will get exactly the same squence of random numbers. To produce a different
    sequece random number each time, the generator can be seede in a number of ways such as:
    integer:: count, seed
    real:: rnd
    call system_clock(count)
    seed=count
    call random_seed(put=seed)
    call random_number(rnd)
