From: utzoo!decvax!harpo!eagle!mhuxt!mhuxi!mhuxj!mhuxv!burl!rcj Newsgroups: net.lang Title: f77 Query Article-I.D.: burl.27 Posted: Tue Jan 11 11:21:59 1983 Received: Wed Jan 12 06:51:38 1983 Anybody know of a way to convert an ascii string into the name of a subroutine that can legally be used in a call statement in f77? I am writing a simulator, and would like the user to specify his name for a device; say rgbank for a register bank. I would then like to be able to call a user-supplied routine called rgbank by translating the ascii string "rgbank" directly rather than through some table lookup or other cumbersome piece of klugery. Thanx in advance for any ideas, The MAD Programmer alias: Curtis Jackson (...!floyd!burl!rcj)
