Subject: Re: [APDL] *vread with mixed character/number array.

Three possibilities come to mind,
Try using *vlen to skip the character lines (may need a *do loop also).
Read in as a character array, then *vwrite to a temporary file without the
character lines and re-read as a numeric array.
Use system calls to edit the file to remove the offending lines.

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.
