convert data in the text file to table in DBL

[sean1985]

Hi guys

I wanted to convert data in text file which are in multiple rows and columns in DBL format to a table to b seen in labview as DBL format.

I had tried looking and working at the example but in vain , i just cant produce anything

pls help. or write me a short example..thanks

Are you dealing with a table or an array.  For an array, just use the Read spreadsheet file from the File I/O palette.

For a table,  you will have to convert the number to a string and setting the appropriate precision and width, then write the 2-D string array to the table.

Try this. Modify for different delimitor if necessary.

Dennis,

This question may be a whole lot more complicated than it appears.  I just discovered this thread by the same poster.

Sean,  Is this the same problem as that thread or a new one?  If it is the same problem, please don't start a new thread with an even more generic question.  Otherwise you have just wasted our time.

I just discovered that other thread as well. I have no idea what he's asking for.

almost same. but i save the file format into text file.

however even if i tried at txt file i still cant get what i want.

i get only a column of the table instead of the whole data in the text file.. plss help..

using fractional string and the table diagram.. how can achieve a 2D table with all data?

my data stored in text file is stored in terms of table format but is spaced evenly

Hi Sean,

I really miss an example of your "text file, stored in terms of table format but is spaced evenly". I couldn't find one here in this thread nor in the other.

It really would help to see what you're talking about... Just a small snippet would be ok!

[sean1985]

this is my data.. pls help me represent all data in table format in labview.

By the way is table format same as array?
