I'm attempting to read a file where each line contains, among other things, a fully qualified linux filename. When I use the following read statement, everything up until fn has the value I'd expect, but fn contains nothing. If I edit the file to remove the / characters that appear in the filename, it to is read, but without the slashes. Is there a way to get the read to read the /es?

Bruce,

Read each line of the file as a character string. Then read the values v1, v2 and v3 from the string with an internal read and extract the filename from the string by finding its start position.

cheers,
John
