Gsharp FAQ - Reading ASCII files

Gsharp has several routines for reading ASCII files. Files that contain column data can normally be read in as a report. Files made up of rows or blocks can be read in with the more generic ASCII reader. Even more complex files can be read in with fopen() and fread(). Customised readers can also be written in C or FORTRAN and linked into the Gsharp executable.

• Why does the file layout resource have no effect when reading in a grid dataset with the ASCII reader/import_ascii()?
• How can I read in a report which I have written out with export_report?
