So I am trying to read a .dat file and output an array of 4byte (32-bit) integers. My current attempt is to use the Read from binary file. From here I use a StringSubset.vi to remove the first 834 bits as this is non-important information. From here I want to assemble the following string of binary into 4-byte integer values. I am unclear with what sub vi to use after removing the non-important information to convert packets of 4 bytes to numbers. Any help would be super appreciated.

My initial thoughts match what rolfk stated. Just have the Read Binary File do all of the conversion for you. Just wire an I32 constant to the data type input (on the top of the Read Binary File). You can also supply the byte order just in case the file is using little endian (big endian is the default).

The original VI generates a string, so unflatten as suggested seems like a better choice. Easy to change byte order for testing. 😄

Binary to integer array trouble

Solved!

Both solutions worked, I implemented altenbach's when I said thank you, then went back and saw the new reply and felt like it was a little cleaner so I selected it as a solution for the masses. Sorry for any confusion.
