Hi all, I've been bothered by this problem for long time. I have a text file in which the different items had been separated by tab column by column.(You can look up the attached file.) And I want to extract each column from the text to do further processes in LabVIEW. I know the read delimited spreadsheet can do such job, but my LabVIEW is too old to have this vi. So please let me know how to do this :(((((

This should give you some ideas.... Your delimiters is <space>, not <tab>! (Of course "read from spreadsheet file" can do it all in one step, even the transposition if desired.)

He's using LabVIEW 2014 (at least for posting), and I am not 100% he has that VI. Do you remember when it was added? Still, "read from spreadsheet file" would be a drop-in replacement. 🙂
