Write data to multiple text files after specific size

[mimi99]

Hello,

I wrote a code that contineously writes data to a text file. The problem is I am running this VI for long time and therefore this text file is being bigger in size e.g. more than 20MB. I want to split writing data in this text file after max 2MB size. How can I do it? this is my programm .vi

Thank you,

Hi ki4kou,

I want to split writing data in this text file after max 2MB size. How can I do it?

Like this:

fh = open(filename)
WHILE
 write(fh)
 IF FileSize(fh) > 2MB THEN
  close(fh)
  fh=open(new file name)
 ENDIF
WEND
close(fh)

In the file functions palette you will find functions for opening and closing files. And for getting the filesize…
