Read a txt without separating data by space.

Hi, 

I am reading a txt from my PC and save it on a string. Perfect.

The problem becomes when I realize that all the caracters are separated by a space.

Do you know how to import the data without spaces? 

I attach my vi.(Descargar archivo desde CEIA) and the txt.file(ControllerGateway)

As you can see on the following picture, a space appears between each caracter. the txt file does not have this spaces.

Hi plaza,

 

Do you know how to import the data without spaces?

Did you notice the first two chars in your "text" file?

They have a special meaning: they signalize the file encoding!

 

Your text is encoded as "UCS2 LE BOM" (according to Notepad++), which means Unicode, 16bit per char, LittleEndian ByteOrderMark.

LabVIEW only uses old ASCII standard and so reads the upper byte as "space" char (infact it's a zero byte!).

 

Easiest would be to save the text as ASCII (or plain UTF-8) using any text editor you like to. (I recommend Notepad++.)

Best regards,
GerdW

Your html file is saved in Unicode, you'll either have to resave it or handle it.
