Continual plotting of data from text file

I would like help with automated plotting of multiple sets of data on one axis. The file attached shows a sample of the data where the first number (eg 405) is the reference and the next two are the date and time. The data after that all needs to be plotted in a different color. The A.A.. (or .....) does not need to be plotted, the N/A's can be assumed to have either no reading or the same as the previous day. The data needs to be read from a text file and then graphed. The sample shows only a few variations and the reference number is incremented by 1 (I have shown random data) everytime the data is obtained from the source. Is this possible. If it is possible, the system will then need to be expandable to be able to updat
e the graphs daily as the new data is obtained (although this is not so important at the moment). Can anyone please help me with detailed instructions if possible. All help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Nath

I have written a rough vi for you in LV 6.0. Basically it shows how to open a file and write the string to an indicator. Then create an array from the numerical parts of the string which are plotted in a graph. I have assumed that the date/time and ref numbers will always be of the same format on each line of text.
I'm not sure if i have done exactly what you want, but should give you an idea of what to do. Let me know if you have any problems..

Instead of doing JDBC i am using text file as database. I cant get data from text file to print into JTable when i click find button. Goal is to find a record and print that record only, but for now i am trying to print all the records. Once i get that i will change my code to search desired record and print it. when i click the find button nothing happens. Can you please take a look at my code, dbTest() method. thanks.
void dbTest() {
DataInputStream dis = null;

Charting data from text file in LabVIEW 5.1 for Windows

I am having some difficulties trying to figure out how to plot a chart with
data from a file. I would like to be able to read data from a text file
into a chart using LabVIEW 5.1 for Windows. I have looked in the help
within the program and online. I have also looked in the user manual and
the book "LabVIEW for Everyone". Could you please give me specific
instructions on how I would construct the program to be able to do this.
Thank you.

Hi Ellie,
It depends on how data is stored in that txt file. Usually you load the data into an array either using or , the array if necessary and send it to the graph indicator in required form. If you want a more detailed answer, send me a sample data file ([email protected]).

How to extract data from text file to database table

Hi ,
I am trying to upload data in text file to database table using GUI_UPLOAD function .what would be the program for that.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
I don't think you have a standard sap program to upload data from file to database table...
Instead you can create a custom program like this..

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

CO-PA load data from text file

Hello
At present, in our company, we load data from Excel files to CO-PA. Is there any way to load those data to CO-PA from text files ?
I will be grateful for any suggestions.

You can create a structure using KEFA, assign the Value fields in KEFB and then use KEFC to upload data against that structure.
You have various file format options, but I don't think Excel is one of them... you have have to save the file as txt and upload.
Play around with those transactions and come back if you need additional help.
Cheers.

Unable to Upload data from text file into BEx Analyzer selection screen

Hi,
No response from BEx Analyzer when I am trying to upload around 40,000 material from text file into BEx Analyzer selection screen using "Upload selections" options. But I am able to upload only 10,000 material from text file. I never faced same kind of issue when I am using BEx Analyzer 3.x. Please let me know I have to change any settings related to BEx or any other.
Thanks

Hello
It seems you are reaching the .NET memory limitation informed in note 1040454.
Because 3.5 does not use .NET it can work that.

Remove duplicates while loading data from text file

Hi,
Data in text file (some times has duplicates) is being loaded into Oracle 9i database using Informatica. To improve performance, we would like to remove duplicates at the time of each load using Oracle procedure. Could you please help me with this?
Thanks,
Lakshmi

No, our table doesn't have that. Most of the functionality is managed at the informatica level. Is there any other way? Thanks,

Read data from text file one by one using for loop

Dear Forum
I want to read data of single colum of text file inside the for loop one by one(for each iteration value must be replaced by another value of text file).This value is used by a formula inside for loop. also after completion of iterations the values must be plotted on xy graph. How to do it.? please help me.
profravi

It's not very efficient to read a file line by line. Much simpler to read it all at once and then auto-index the results inside a for loop. The image below shows a generic solution to your problem. This assumes that the data in the file is in a single column.
I would also recomend checking ou the learning LabVIEW resources here.
I would aslos suggest that since this type of question is not specific to either NI-Elvis or the LabVIEW SE, you should post similar questions to the LabVIEW board. If you have problems, attaching a sample of the text file would help.

Read and average n data from text file

I acquire numeric data from the oscilloscope [reading a waveform] that is stored in one column in a text file.
I need to read in selectable amount of data points to average/plot them.
So basically I wanna have a text file with millions of data points but I wanna plot say only every 1000. data point. I have tried many things I found here on the forum but as I am new to LabView, none of them really worked.
Does anybody have a suggestion.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
among others I have tried to build the VI below but somehow I cannot get to the desired solution because according to the indicators it always stops after the first loop.
Can you have a look please?

Error while loading the data from text file

Hi,
I got an error " Data Value Encountered before all Dimensions selected" while loading the data from the text file.
Can any one please suggest me the solution.

Possible Solutions
Make sure that the data source is valid.
Is a member from each dimension specified correctly in the data source or rules file?
Is the numeric data field at the end of the record? If not, move the numeric data field in the data source or move the numeric data field in the rules file.
Are all members that might contain numbers (such as "100") enclosed in quotation marks in the data source?
If you are using a header, is the header set up correctly? Remember that you can add missing dimension names to the header.
Does the data source contain extra spaces or tabs?
Has the updated outline been saved?

Deleting data from text files

Hi there,
I am having a real battle trying to delete data from a text file I am using. There seems to be this giant cloud with Java, where there is no real easy way to delete text from a file??
I have a JFrame with two textfields on it where you enter the username and pcname. There is a OK button once you have entered those details.
On action event I would like those two details, to be removed from the text file that has been read in.
I have a text file like this:
bob
pc1
bill
pc2
The data above gets written no problem, one at at a time using the below.
File f = new File("\\c:\\filename.txt");
String strToWrite;
try
FileOutputStream fstr = new FileOutputStream(f);
strToWrite = username1+ '\r'+'\n' ;
byte[] bytes = strToWrite.getBytes(); fstr.write(bytes);
strToWrite = pcname1 + '\r'+'\n' ;
byte[] bytes2 = strToWrite.getBytes(); fstr.write(bytes2);
strToWrite = username2+ '\r' +'\n' ;
byte[] bytes3 = strToWrite.getBytes(); fstr.write(bytes3);
strToWrite = pcname2 + '\r'+'\n' ;
byte[] bytes4 = strToWrite.getBytes(); fstr.write(bytes4);
catch (IOException e)
System.out.println("Error -- " + e.toString());
To read them back in I have made the follwoing:
BufferedReader br= null;
Count = 0;
try
br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("\\c:\\filename.txt")));
String s = "";
while((s=br.readLine()) != null )
Count = 1;
     //System.out.println("Data is " + s);
     inboundtext = s;
     if ( Count == 1 )
break;
while((s=br.readLine()) != null )
//System.out.println("Data is " + s);
inboundtext = s;
Count = 2;
if ( Count == 2 )
break;
catch(IOException ie)
finally
try
     if(br!=null) br.close();
catch(Exception e)
Now the above I know, is reading each line of the text file one at a time.
Now what I would like is that when the text that we got from the textfields, using getText(), be removed from the file without destroying the rest of the records in there? Why is it so easy to add and replace files, but not do any deleting from them?
please help!!

sorry, FileOutputStream fstr = new FileOutputStream(f);
should be FileOutputStream fstr = new FileOutputStream(f, true);

to get read automatically from the text file and get processed field by field for transaction VA01 and thne get saved.
How do I achieve this ? Do I have to use SHDB or some other method ?a

Screen data entry box that displays data from text file AND write back to file.

I want the user to be able to view/edit a 'setup file' FROM THE SAME INDICATOR BOXES for a application. I tried to read the file(text), display individual data in indicator boxes and re-write file when user is finished. This causes errors since you can't use indicators boxes as inputs for the file write. Is there some kind of indicator/control/data entry box that the user can view the data, edit the data, and re-write the data from the box???

hi
I have created this example for your reference.
I modified the Configuration File Examples in LV Examples, together with a few file check & create functions.
Hope this will help.
Note: The Configuration File Example from LV are COOL, indeed.
Cheers
