NO EOF in Labview 8.0?

[pmetcalf]

Hey All:

I read some earlier discussions on the use of an End Of File (EOF) function from the functions pallette. I am using LV 8.0 and I cannot for the life of me find an EOF Function in the 'advanced file functions' pallette.

Has it been eliminated or replaced in LV 8.0?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Phil,

Page 14 of the LabVIEW Upgrade Notes ([labview]\manuals\LV_Upgrade_Notes.pdf) says "In LabVIEW 8.0, the EOF function is not on the Functions palette. Use the Get File Size and Set File Size functions instead."

Hope this helps,

Agree, i thought that was missing.  Use the Get File Size before entering the while loop.  Read ths file and get position as you are reading it.  If Position >= Size then break the loop.  If you need an example let me know.

Thanks Guys!

I thought perhaps I had lost all of my mind for a minute.

I will try the file size functions to see how that works out.

I wonder if there is reference to using them in the help file......Hmmmmmm!

Thanks again!

Phil
