Bugreport: Output format field widths are not set properly

#1 Post by tomic » Wed Mar 18, 2015 4:45 pm

Dear developers

Output field widths are not set properly in VASP, so that instead of having

Code: Select all

PROPERTY VALUE
VALUE_1 VALUE_2 ...
we often have

Code: Select all

PROPERTYVALUE
PROPERTY****

VALUE_1VALUE_2 ...
****VALUE_2 ...
This is particularly troublesome for OUTCAR and PROCAR files and makes reliable parsing very, very complicated.

Your values are much larger than expected.
You can modify corresponding formats in the source code
to have them printed properly.
