text file reader VIs for LabView?

I will need to program LabView to read commands in a text file and then
the program will run a number of stepper motors. The commands will be
of the sort:

move 2,100 ;moves motor # 2 to a position that is 100 steps from home
position.
wait 500 ;wait 500mS
etc;

I've programmed something like this in LabView about 10 years ago and
it was a pain, plus I've forgotten how I did it.

I was wondering if there where a number if VI's that at least help or
even do some of the key tasks involved in this. Or if there is some
caned code out there?

Thanks George

Hi George,

Of course LabVIEW has built in VIs to read text file !
Here is an small example of what you could do, I tried to document it as much as I could.

Hope this will help
