Read from a file list

[q123456789]

Hi everyone,

This is the first question in this forum. I'm writing a program that capture and save several signals in different files. The files are named automatically. Now, I want make a front panel that lists all the saved files and when the user selects a specific file, the data on that file will be displayed. Can anyone give me some hints to do that.

Thanks

Mike

Hi Mike,
use "List Folder" to get a List of files of interrest, feed the resulting string-Array to the "Strings[]"- property of a list box and react to a value-change of the listbox. Then open the selected file, extract the data in the way you need it and display it in your front panel indicators.
If you need more details, don't hesitate to ask.
Greets, Dave
