extracting data from lvm file

[Amber]

I have some data in lvm file. I want to read data using labview. I have some data stored in a file in 4 columns. I want to write a program to read some of the data from my stored file. For example i have four columns and 20 rows.  want to record the 5th data from the 4th column and then the 10th data n then the 15th data and then the 20th data all from the 4th column (at a regular interval of row, in this case 5 rows interval) and write it into a file. How can i do this, please help.

Hi Amber,

Thanks for your post to the NI forums.  I've added a couple of links for you to get started with:

Specification for the LabVIEW Measurement File (.lvm), Version 1.0
Using the Write to Measurement File Express VI
Read from Measurement File.vi

Let me know how things progress for you,
