Joe,

Do you always have the same number of lines with characters? Are they
always at the beginning of the data file (as your sample data file
suggests)? If so, have you tried the NSKIP option of *VREAD?

array.

Greetings,

Does anyone know of a way to *VREAD a column of data that may have a few
rows with characters? ANSYS will abort the *VREAD if it encounters any
characters in the column. Even using a mask vector to tell ANSYS to skip
the character rows does not work. I want ANSYS to ignore the character
rows
and just read the numbers.

Below is a snippet to illustrate the problem:

Data file:

aaaaaaaaabbbbbbbb
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

Macro:

*dim, mask_, array, 10
*vfill, mask_(1), ramp, 0.

*do, i_, 2, 10, 2
mask_(i_) = 1
*enddo

*dim, data_, array, 10
*vmask, mask_(1)
*vread, data_(1), 'junk.dat'
(f20.0)

Thanks.
