Fortran files in C#?

[not_a_commie]

Is anyone aware of a .NET API to ease reading and writing Fortran
files? I want to load some Fortran files into my own structures. They
are a bit of a pain parsing with Regex because 1) they have like 200
fields, 2) some of the fields are files that may or may not be embeded
(using the Fortran $ operator), 3) some parameters are array sizes
where the data that follows is the data for the arrays, 4) Fortran
apparently allows you to specify the variable name if you want to
(otherwise it assumes that the data in the files is the same ordering
as your structure). Thanks for your time.

I guess I should clarify that I don't want to parse Fortran source
code, I want to load and modify Fortran-created IO files.

Not having used Fortran myself, it would help a great deal if you'd
specify the file format. The origin of the data isn't really important
- the file format is.

hi,

Why don't you write a bridge/converter in Fortran.Net?
