Send numeric value in relative time format to text file
Hi, I'm trying to send a numeric value to a text file (.txt). However, this value must be in Relative Time format, which is displayed correctly in my front panel but not in my text file. The text file displays it as an integer-.
I know that this can be achieved by sending a string instead of a numeric value, but the thing is, I'm sending other numeric values along with this one, which means ALL the data must be numeric in order for Labview to send it, since it does not seem to accept a polimorphic array of data.
Any suggestions?

Assigning a Numeric Value in a Cell Based on Text in Another Cell
In advance, thanks for your assistance. I'm trying, in vain, to assign a numeric value in a cell based on text (from a dropdown menu) in another cell. For example, in cell A5 I have a dropdown list that includes the options "blue", "red", "white", and "gold." I want cell C15 to be 2 if A5="blue"; I want C15 to be 0 if A5="red"; I want C15 to be 2 if A5="white"; and, I want C15 to be 1 if A5="gold."
Tippet,
This is a job for LOOKUP.
The expression for the Result cell is: =LOOKUP(A2, Lookup :: A1:A4, Lookup :: B1:B4)
The aux. table contains the matches that you assign for the colors.

hi folks,
I have an text file with records, each record has several field values and there is blank space between them, I need to remove the blank spaces, is there a way that i can do with all records at one stretch? Instead doing it for each record.
I know it is not related to SAP but I need some help in this regard as there are a lot of records and formatting each record manually is extremely painful. This is a corrected file manually on a spreadsheet and converted into the text file from thereon.
Any help is really appreicated.
Thanks,
SKHi,
What you are trying to do with the text file after removing the spaces?
Are you going to use in SAp Upload? or just to remove the spaces in text fiel?
If you are using it for other purposes, you should not remove the spaces, because for that particular field no data will be entered.
(generally we remove the other chars's like " by Find and Replace method)
Generally we format the text files from the Excel to utilise it somewhere?
And we won't remove the spaces for surther uses.

How to define and populate value to a variable in a text file
hi all,
i have a text file on unix server, when i read it through open dataset, is it possible to populate dynamic value to a variable in the text file. and is it possible to define a variable at any place in the text file?
after this the program will send the internal table for emailing.
thanks.Hi, If this file on server is a email template you can put some tags / marks and you can change it after you read it with OPEN DATASET / READ...
Sample:
OPEN DATASET p_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
CHECK sy-subrc EQ 0.
DO.
READ DATASET p_file INTO lv_string.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
REPLACE ALL OCCURENCES OF '((SYSTEM_ID))' WITH sy-sysid.
APPEND input_file_tab.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET p_file.
on file there's a line with:
This email was generated on server ((SYSTEM_ID))
It will be translated to (sy-sysid = DEV):
This email was generated on server DEV
This is a "variable" like that you can use. -
Read a character 1 at a time from a text file
Hi all,
I have tried the following to read 1 character at a time from a text file but it did not work;
int buf_sz = 1;
try
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader( new FileReader( "C:\\bitshift.txt", buf_sz ));
String rd_line = null;
while( (rd_line = br.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(rd_line + "\n");
}I could only get it to read the whole line by removing the buf_sz when creating an instance of the BufferedReader.
How can I achieve this?
ThanksThe Javadoc for Reader.read()
read
public int read()
throws IOException
Read a single character. This method will block until a character is available, an I/O error occurs, or the end of the stream is reached.
Subclasses that intend to support efficient single-character input should override this method.
Returns:
The character read, as an integer in the range 0 to 65535 (0x00-0xffff), or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error occurs -
Read one word at a time from a text file
I want to read one word at a time from a text file as it is done by "scanf &s" function in text based programme. It is not possible by " read from text" function. Suggest me function or method to solve this.
The simplest way is to use the spreadsheet string to array function with the space character as the delimiter.
Note that this won't work unless there is a space character between the words - it won't work with line feeds / carriage returns between the words but you could always split the string into lines first. You may also want to trim whitespace to remove any other non-visible characters (e.g. tab, line feeds) from around the word.
If you need something more sophisticated that splits based on whitespace (e.g. tab, new line) then you'll probably need to do something with searching the string for these characters (e.g. using a regular expression) and then splitting them yourself into an array.
Of course...if you actually want to just read one word at a time from the file rather than just split the file into words (I assumed you meant this), you will need to read the file byte by byte using the low level file IO functions, build a buffer of the bytes and check the character you've read to see if it a space.

Inf in "Relative Time" formatted constant crashes LabVIEW
Stumbled on interesting crash behavior in LV2012: I have a DBL constant on the BD of a VI that is used to represent a timeout constant, so I set the Display Format to "Relative Time". Originally, it was set to 90:00 (ninety minutes), but for testing purposes, I tried changing it to "Inf" (no timeout). It immediately crashed LV.
Tried again in a new VI. Just add a DBL constant, set the format to relative time, then try to set the value to Inf. It crashes consistently.
I can probably work around it, but it's worth noting (and opening a CAR?). Can anyone confirm this behavior?CAR 375872 discussed in this thread has been fixed in LabVIEW 2013.

Time Format using text variable with replacement path
Hi Friends,
I've used "Text variable with replacement path" to make the column heading dynamic by replacing the values referring from "0calday"...
everything is working fine, but here it is displaying the time format like
YYYYMMDD (20030101), i want it to be displayed DDMMYYYY (01012003) in the column heading... how to make it possible?
pls waiting for ur inputs, it's an urgent...
Regards,
PattnaikHi Satyakam,
In the text variable properties make sure that in the replacment path you have chosen "Text" to appear date as per user setting . Other wise as in your case it must be set to "Key" which always shows in the format YYYYMMDD.
Hope that helps.

Transfer time stamp from text file into MS Access thru Labview
Hello everyone,
I am Cruz; Long time listener, First time caller.
I am currently monotoring data being collected by an oven. The data is stored in a text file. I am using Labview to take the data from the textfile and place it in an MS access DB for manipulation. The first three columns of the text file are the time stamp of data. When i transfer the data into Access i cant get the first three columns to display as a time stamp. Can have some pointers on what how to get the first three columns to display correctly.
Additional info:
the text file is a 1D array that gets overitten with every new mesurement tanken. the transfer to Acces is to not loos any of the information and to better manipulate the data into forms and such.
Running Labview 2010
attached is code and text file.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Oven test other.vi 16 KB
datalog032010003.txt 1 KBYour first mistake is reading the file as DBL. Your first three columns are obviously not numeric values. Did you ever look at the output array? Read it as strings. Second, you would need to combine those first three columns to create an actual time stamp before you write to the db. Unless of course you have one column for date, one column for time, and one column for AM/PM. I would not recomend that type of structure in the db.

Rohit.txt 2821 KBI don't think you need any loops and there is certainly no need o convert to numbers and back!
(scanning and formatting operations are expensive!)
Read the file as a plain string, then convert it to a 1D array of strings, one line per array element.
Reshape to a 2D array of proper dimensions and transpose to fill columns first.
Use spreadsheet string to array (now with tab as delimiter) to generate the desired string.
Write the string to a new file.
Here's a simple draft (LabVIEW 8.0). Look ma, no loops!
Modify as needed.

How to extract different date format in text file
well, iam new for using regex api(regular expression), In my project i want to extract the different format of date from the text file... date format will be 3rd june 2004, 03-06-2004, june 3rd and so on....
can any body give me regular expression to extract the date from the text file...
i will be very grateful..
kareemdate format will be 3rd june 2004, 03-06-2004, june 3rd and so on....The only way to do this (without implementing a "mind reader") is to determine in advance all the possible date formats that are possible in your input, and try to interpret each date using each of those formats until one of them passes.
It's easy enough to handle june 3rd vs 3 june vs 3rd june, but 6/3 vs 3/6, of course, is ambiguous. -
Add one character at a time from External Text file
Hi,
I'm using Flash 8, and I have created a standard Dynamic
field that pulls the text from an external text file using the
LoadVars function and it works fine.
To get the correct effect for the design, I would like to be
able to create the illusion that the characters are being typed out
when the page loads as if someone has started typing and also hear
the "Typewriter Clack" each time a character appears.
The only place I have found an example is on the Syphon
Filter Game website which seems to have created the illusion
perfectly:
http://www.syphonfilterdarkmirror-thegame.com/en_IE/
(Check out the bottom right section)
I could create a Movieclip and add a character each frame
but, I would like to be able to edit the text when required via a
text file or even ASP or PHP if neccessary.
Any help would be grateful.

How to save the value in Cedit control into a text file bu using measurement studio c++?
Im using measurement studio c++ to create a application. How to save a randomly generated value which display in the CNumberEdit Control to a text file? how to do the coding part?
You can use the CNiFile class to write the value out to a file. For example, create a new Measurement Studio C++ project and follow these steps:
Add a CNiNumEdit to the dialog.
Add a member variable for the CNiNumEdit called m_numEdit.
Add a button to the dialog.
Double-click the button to add a message handler for the button's BN_CLICKED message.
Add the following code to the button's BN_CLICKED message handler:
CNiFile file("C:\\Values.log", CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite | CFile::typeText);
file << m_numEdit.Value << endl;
file.Close();
Run the application, edit the CNiNumEdit's value, and click the button. The value should be written to the Values.log
file as specified in the code above.
Hope this helps.

Using counter to time stamp to text file

encoder continous 21-4-2013.vi 28 KBHi,
Have you seen these two articles?
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/68806B93A21355E98625726F0064822B
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/5D42CCB17A70A06686256DBA007C5EEA
Basically, it can be done, but be aware it may not be as accurate as you would like. Follow the code in the first article and note that the easiest way would be to just use the basic File I/O VIs to write to text file, since the Write to Measurement File VI will only work with waveforms and you have counter output.
