How to read .bin (raw file)

[meBaga]

I have a raw data file (kidney.bin) which can be read using Matlab. It shows a 2D Array in Matlab. How can I read this file in LabVIEW ?? Please go through the attachment and let me know the solution.

Well, there is no documetation on the format, but it seems U8, so endian is irrelevant. Looks like it is one flat binary file without header or dimension information. Here's some simple code that seems to reproduce your expected result. (LabVIEW 8.2)

Well, 

Thanks for your reply. I have got the solution also  . Can you tell me if I can generate this kind of (.bin) file from an array or .txt file containing an array.

[altenbach]

Well, if you have the array, you just transpose it, reshape it to a 1D array and write it to a binary file without size information.

If you have a text file, you need to parse it first. How does the text file look like?

[meBaga]

This is the text file.

[altenbach]

Well, each file seems to contain an index followed by 16 bytes formatted in hexadecimal, space delimited, and padded to two digits. line termination seems to be \s\r\n\n.

If you know that the file is clean, you can ignore the data up to the ":" and simply parse the rest of each line (ignoring the empty lines)

Well the file is clean, It is containing the actual data I want. We have checked it. How can I ignore the data upto the : using LabVIEW, I also need it to be in Array format, when I am calling it in LabVIEW using Text reader VI, I can see the output but in String format.

I also need it to be converted into decimal value (U8 format).

I got this, Now I am trying to finish it.

That link won't really help you because you also have delimiters netween the elements.
