spreadsheet string to array not reading all from .txt file

[marvin117]

I'm very new to Labview.

I'm trying to read a .txt file (positions.txt) with Read In.vi.

However, the result is not what I wish it to be. The first 3 rows are omitted in the result array, but I don't know why.

I have followed the various tutorials, and can't see why the resulting array starts at the 4th row.

Hi marvin,

is there a reason why you want to create a 4 dimensional array?

Did your read the LabVIEW help, how LabVIEW formats (or expects) spreadsheet files for array dimensions > 2?

Solution:

Change the array constant and indicator to a 2D array!

Thanks, this solved the problem to me.
