Reading Tagged Data From Text File

[Scot07]

Hi all,

Hoping you can help - I am trying to read the data between xml tags incorporated into a text file. 

I am able to get the data within the <ExampleData> tags in the attached example and I imagine I could do similar to get all the tag data for the fields within this. 

However, is there a trick I'm missing here as the text files I will be reading will be of various sizes (both file size and array(s) size(s))?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Scot07

HI, I will share with you Read from Text File Function

Hi Raffi.13,

As you can see from the example diagrams in my question. I am currently using the read from text file function. The issue with this is that if I am looking to read the text data between hundreds of tags (lets call the number n) within that text file, the number of match patterns required will be 2 times n and will lead to a very messy block diagram. I could maybe create a SubVI to help but it will still be messy. 

I was wondering if there is any other method to read the data between XML tags. 

Thanks,

Have you tried any of the LabVIEW XML parser vi's?
