Hi LLX,

open your text document with Excel (or any other tool working with spreadsheets) and everything looks fine!

 As I already told you here it all depends on the tool for viewing your text document!

 Btw.:

- What's wrong with your text file? All data is written to the text file as expected…

- Define a "good formatting" when you you need one…

A workaround suitable for your example text: write those numbers using a format string of "%#.6f"…

A possible solution is to use multiple spaces between your numbers - but then you (might) get problems when loading your text files with Excel…

Hello GerdW,

Thanks for your reply, but I must use the text editor to open and save the file.

Hi LLX,

when you are restricted to use the simple notepad you need to use spaces instead of tabs to separate your data columns! Use format strings like "%16s"…

Hi GerdW,

thanks a lot. Amazing Solution. In this project I must always deal with the format of the string, do you know if there is a tutoriums that deal with the string formatting.

Hi LLX,

reading the LabVIEW help (RTFM!) might be helpful… 😄
