fortran fuckup

How can I use the damn string functions? They work with constant strings such as 'foo', but as soon as I use character arrays, they fuck up. Obviously that's because strings are not arrays some shit like that. What the fuck am I to do?

Also, I'd like to do the following, say I have x = 'quux', I'd like to write a function that removes the last character, so that f(x) evaluates to quu. Ideas?

Found the answer to my second question, it's x(1:3) (at least that's somewhat convenient!)

yOu Faggots dont code fortran here?
