Can I Allocate A Variable Length Character String?

1.	Can I Allocate A Variable Length Character String?
Answer» YES, in FORTRAN 2003. Declare the variable and allocate with a given length as follows: character(LEN=:), ALLOCATABLE :: str integer :: N n = 27 allocate(character(LEN=n) :: str) A Fortran 95 solution is the iso_varying_string module, or the variable length string module in FLIBS. Yes, in Fortran 2003. Declare the variable and allocate with a given length as follows: A Fortran 95 solution is the iso_varying_string module, or the variable length string module in FLIBS.
