I think as a general case, it would be nice if ANSYS could read a line up to 128 characters and ignore lines with characters in columns that are supposed to contain numbers.
Bob Weathers suggestion is more general, and would fit my needs too if it could be done.

My immediate thought was "Nope, can't do that because ansys uses the system read with the user supplied format statement". However, the clever suggestions contained here might offer some hope, especially with the c formats. Can someone help me understand better what is desired. Is it as simple as ignoring any lines which contain characters? Or do we need to ignore lines which contain characters in columns which are supposed to contain numbers? If we were to read the entire line as a character string, then decode it internally, what would the maximum line length be? Would a fixed limit like 128 of 640 (slower) be acceptable? Comments, anyone? John Swanson Swanson Analysis Services, Inc.
