FREFORM: An Algorithm for Processing Free-Format Data,

Abstract

A library subroutine named FREFORM has been developed for use on the PDP-11/10 computer. This subroutine can be accessed by user programs to process data stored on disk or data entered at the computer terminal. The use of FREEFORM eliminates the need for format statements in programs which process or use such data. More importantly, restrictions on the data format and syntax are greatly reduced. (Author)
