How to write a timestring from a .txt-spreadsheet-file into a LV-array

[ThomasD]

Hello,

I have the problem to get the timestring from an .txt-sreadsheet-file in a correct format into a labview array. The first coulmn ist a time value, the other coulmns are unimportant. The target is to get an xy-graph which shows the time at the x-axis and another value from the .txt file in the y-axis. At the moment I get in the first coulmn the value "10" instead of "10:36:17". Can anybody help?

Win XP
LV 7.1

I can't look at your VI, but have a look at the attached (7.0) as an example.
It's not finished, and could still have some bugs, but it shows the basic idea.
It uses the same tokens as the regular LV functions, so in your case the format string should be %H:%M:%s.
I really think LV should have this as a built in function (the opposite of Format Date/Time String) and it would be nice if you would make a product suggestion for it.
