Hi all,
I just want to show a text file (tab seperated) as an excel file. I just wanted to use the syst exec.vi for this. Anyone have any idea how to do it?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Muthuraman S,
you can open the file with this "excel 'filename'", but it only opens the file, it'll not separate your data into different cells.

Even if you want to show a txt file as an Excel file, the file extn needs to be changed to .xls by saving the original file as a copy & then opening it using the ActiveX Excel functions or the RG toolkit. It is better to save it as a .csv instead of a Tab delimited Excel file.
I m not sure how you are going to do this using the System Exec.vi.
