obtain data from internet?

[spmoya]

I am trying to use some data from an internet text file. Could someone help me figure out how to get this file, using labview it is a text file.

What is the URL of the file? If it is on an FTP server you could try using the OpenG Internet Connectivity Tools. Or you could use LabVIEW DataSocket to get the file. Just enter the file URL as the DataSocket address.

Check out the following example at NI KnowledgeBase. I know it is for an image, but once you see it you should be able to modify it for your needs:
