Not printing input to screen

Help
1

Hi all,

thanks for your help until now. I have a question, is it possible when we input a number and save it into a buffer variable, but we do not print that input to the screen (or at least, add something (maybe strings or integers in the same line as that input line)?

Many thanks,

You can input 2 or more items on the same line in one statement, e.g. this tiny program:

  implicit none
  integer m,n
  print *,'Enter two integers with blank space between them.'
  read *,m,n
  print *,'You said', m,n
  end program

The 2 items need not be numbers, as they are here. Or is that not what you were asking?

Maybe you can bind c function getch

A programmer can also read multiple items from the same input line with multiple read statements using nonadvancing i/o. Another approach is to read the input into a character string, and then parse and reparse that input line several times. There are many possibilities.

From what I understand, the OP is asking for “non-printing to the screen (console) user input”, as when entering sensible data (passwords) from CLI (i.e. ssh, etc…). In such case, I don’t know if this can be done directly in Fortran.
