Convert txt-file

[Nicolas168]

Hey,

I have an easy question but for me it is quite difficult to find a solution. I am new in Labview. My question goes as follow:

When you have a txt-file and you want to read it in labview. How do you do that?

This txt-file exits off numbers. You can see an example of the txt-file in the appendix. After reading the txt-file in labview, I want to put the numbers in an array. So the first column of the array  contains numbers that you can find in the first column of the txt-file. How can you do that?

If you can help me, thank you very much!

Kind regards,

Nicolas

Use the Read From Spreadsheet File.vi. Look at the LV help for how to use this function.

note: with a png it is not possible to determine what are the column separators, the txt file would have been more usefull.

Hello,

I have read your explanations, I have try it, but I don't understand it. Labview is something new for me. So can you please give me a little bit more explanation about the program who reads the txt file in array?

Is it possible to describe step by step how I need to work?

Kind Regards,

Nicolas

Hello Nicolas,

Can you post an example (in txt-format) of the spreadsheet file you want to read?

Have you already went through this page?

This will learn you some LabVIEW basics which can be very useful for a new LabVIEW programmer.

Use Read from spreadsheet file and give input to this function as your txt file.

You need:

Path control (points to the text file)

Read from spreadsheet file (looks like tab separated)

Index array, to get your 1st column

Array indicator to show your result.

Done. 🙂

You also would need some wires... 😉
