The issue is I'm not able to find which block in the .vi file that is performing the transformation of the .txt file (the input).

Thanks and Merry Christmas!

I'm not surprised. you can't find anything there!  The vi BD is so large that the navagation window hangs!  I would not even care to run VI analizer on it.  The first control I tied to find on the BD was even hidden behind a case structure.  Now that LabVIEW crashed I will forget I tried to look at that abomination.

At least you have a great example of WHY we encourage you to write modular scaleable and readable code with some clear comments and documentation.

And attaching the ppt file file was just silly.

Anyone with a little experience with Excel can read the file and plot the data. You do that and tell everyone here if the file contains anything at all resembling the plot image. When you have done that, then someone can tell you how to read the file with LabVIEW.

I thought you had already fixed the text file with the mixed delimiters. I went ahead and replaced all tabs with spaces and it read fine.

Hi varsha,
-Did you fix your text file as suggested by dennnis?
-The text file has "tab" (\t) in some places and blank space in some places. So, the read file cannot get all data properly.
-First make sure you have only one delimiter in your text file and then read using read file.

Thanks! It worked!

Have marked Dennis's reply as a solution.
