+<h4 class="subsection">5.2.6 <code>Q</code> edit descriptor</h4>
+<a name="index-Q-edit-descriptor"></a>
+
+<p>Some Fortran compilers provide the <code>Q</code> edit descriptor, which
+transfers the number of characters left within an input record into an
+integer variable.
+</p>
+<p>A direct replacement of the <code>Q</code> edit descriptor is not available
+in <code>gfortran</code>. How to replicate its functionality using
+standard-conforming code depends on what the intent of the original
+code is.
+</p>
+<p>Options to replace <code>Q</code> may be to read the whole line into a
+character variable and then counting the number of non-blank
+characters left using <code>LEN_TRIM</code>. Another method may be to use
+formatted stream, read the data up to the position where the <code>Q</code>
+descriptor occurred, use <code>INQUIRE</code> to get the file position,
+count the characters up to the next <code>NEW_LINE</code> and then start
+reading from the position marked previously.
