How to break to new line in Fortran when printing?

It is very simple query but I\'m not able to find the exact solution. How to break to new line when printing in Fortran?

print*,\'This i         


        

Answer 1

There are a number of ways to manage what you want. We can either print blank records or explicitly add a newline character.

A newline character is returned by the intrinsic function NEW_LINE:

print '(2A)', 'First line', NEW_LINE('a')
print '(A)', 'Second line'

NEW_LINE('a') is likely to have an effect like ACHAR(10) or CHAR(10,KIND('a')).

A blank record can be printed by having no output item:

print '(A)', 'First line'
print '(A)'
print '(A)', 'Second line'

Or we can use slash editing:

print '(A,/)', 'First line'
print '(A)', 'Second line'

If we aren't using multiple print statements we can even combine the writing using these same ideas. Such as:

print '(A,:/)', 'First line', 'Second line'
print '(*(A))', 'First line', NEW_LINE('a'), NEW_LINE('a'), 'Second line'

NEW_LINE('a') could also be used in the format string but this doesn't seem to add much value beyond slash editing.
