display tab delimited file on a VI table

[SeanJ]

Hi All,

I have a tab delimited file that I want to display using the Table Control.

I tried using tab and /n parameters in a while loop to search the file and display on the table.

However this won't work as the file is of varying size, i.e. some rows only have one column will others have 2.

Is their a simple VI for importing tab  delimited files that anyone knows of?

Thanks,

Sean

Edit: I should have mentioned.

The file is encoded so must decoded.  I then have a string so I can't use the open spreadsheet open, rather I need to display the string in a table.

Please try the primitive "Spreadsheet String to Array". Hope it helps.
