@node Q edit descriptor
@subsection @code{Q} edit descriptor
@cindex @code{Q} edit descriptor
Some Fortran compilers provide the @code{Q} edit descriptor, which
transfers the number of characters left within an input record into an
integer variable.
A direct replacement of the @code{Q} edit descriptor is not available
in @command{gfortran}. How to replicate its functionality using
standard-conforming code depends on what the intent of the original
code is.
Options to replace @code{Q} may be to read the whole line into a
character variable and then counting the number of non-blank
characters left using @code{LEN_TRIM}. Another method may be to use
formatted stream, read the data up to the position where the @code{Q}
descriptor occurred, use @code{INQUIRE} to get the file position,
count the characters up to the next @code{NEW_LINE} and then start
reading from the position marked previously.
