Inputting characters from a file

I would like to import characters from a certain file and have it appear in a table or chart in labview.  I used the 'read characters from file' icon and the data shows up in a chart. The characters that I am importing will be used to steps to a procedure to run and I wanted to be able to select a specific step.  How can I import a whole file into labview ,having it show up in a table or chart, and be able to individually select one option and use it as a step.

I additon to my other question.....Can I use a while loop and have the counter select each character from the file individually and place each in its own table or chart.

Here is a quick (and dirty) example of reading from a tab delimited file into a table and being able to select from the table. It is in LV7.1.1 Included is a simple example file.
