I have a Fortran code which reads a "dat" file as shown below:

open(unit=2,file="36_st_18.dat",form="formatted",status="old")

However, sometimes the file name changes ( e.g., x_24_st_42_b.dat). All file names have always 'st' latters in it. How can I generalize the reading in Fortran so that I dont have to change the file name each time. Thanks in advance.

Just use a character variable for the file name – Ian Bush Jun 02 '20 at 06:48
I did mark it a duplicate. If you need something more specific, please supply a specific recipe for the filenames you need. – Vladimir F Героям слава Jun 02 '20 at 09:26
