Hello, A Perl script determines the cwd and makes a new folder in it. In the new folder, a new text file is created and this is written to it:

20091122 51 41 46 45.80 30.93
20091123 47 39 43 46.27 30.60
20091124 49 40 45 46.93 29.60
Fortran must read-in all of this for analysis, but doesn't know where the text file is located a priori. What's the best way to get the data into Fortran?

Please Don't:
-Ask why Fortran is needed
-Suggest better alternatives to Fortran
-Comment on the practicality of this task

Thanks,

Dave
