How do I grab data from a url?query using LabView 8.0?

If I copy the following url in my web browser, it will give me the quote of BBD-A.TO symbol from yahoo. The data is comma separated (csv).
http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=BBD-A.TO&d=t&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgvj1pp2wern
I would like to know how to grab that information using LabView. I tried using datasocket VIs but I was unsuccessful, it seems that as soon as I put the query part of the url, I am not able to read (timeout occur).
I think there might be another way to do it using .NET "httprequest" and "httpresponse" classes but again I was not successful.
I am really new to this, thanks for your help.

Hi Ben,
Try adding "[text]" to the end of the URL that you're supplying to the "Datasocket Open (Read)". In your case: http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=BBD-A.TO&d=t&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgvj1pp2wern[text]
Also, Jeremy L posted a GetHTMLSourceString.vi.
Cheers.

How do I recover data from a single App using an iTunes backup and put it back on my iPhone?

An app I use (Text Me 2) automatically cleared conversation history. I have an iTunes back-up of it from last year. I tried searching a ton and found articles, but never found a step-by-step article from start to finish describing how I can get only that app's data back on my iPhone without having to restore the entire thing (otherwise I lose all of my last 6 months of content)? All the articles I read stopped after using the iPhone backup extractor to extract, and didn't tell me how to get that back onto my iPhone. I use iTunes on Mac OS Mavericks also.
Thanks in advance!

Then what's with all of the programs these two responses mention and being able to restore a single app data?
If you know you are going to do this in advance and have a jailbroken phone, use AppBackup which you can get through cydia. Otherwise, if this need arises after having restored already, you can get the data from an iPhone backup using iPhone Backup Extractor and/or a Time Machine backup (you can google to find the location of the backups, but I think it's in Application Support > Mobile Sync > Backups), and then restore the documents/library folders of the application using iExplorer (which is by the same people who made iPhone Explorer but was changed for legal reasons and now is slightly more user friendly and suited for this purpose. I just did this to restore my Angry Birds scores/data among other things.
and
I do that with iTools. You can backup each app with its data into an ipa file to the computer, to restore it individually. This allows you to merge apps with its data from different backups.
...not to mention I found several answers like this in various forums...

How to extract payload data from SOA database schema using Java

I am trying to extract the payload data and output as XML text files using Java. Seems that is stored in SOA table XML_DOCUMENT. I am trying the following Java code to get started and it's not working as I would expect. I only get a few actual lines of output and, when I do, I only get the *<?xml version ... ?>* line.
I appreciate any advice to extract the payload data from the database. Ultimately I will want to include the composite instance ID in the SQL but for now I'm just using the code shown here:
OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
ods.setURL("soa_db_connection_string");
ods.setUser("soa_db_user_id");
ods.setPassword("soa_db_password");
Connection conn = ods.getConnection();
String sql = "select document from xml_document where rownum < 10";
OraclePreparedStatement stmt = (OraclePreparedStatement)conn.prepareStatement(sql);
DBBinXMLMetadataProvider dbrep = BinXMLMetadataProviderFactory.createDBMetadataProvider();
dbrep.setConnectionPool(ods);
dbrep.associateDataConnection(conn);
OracleResultSet rset = (OracleResultSet)stmt.executeQuery();
XMLDOMImplementation domimpl = new XMLDOMImplementation();
BinXMLProcessor proc = BinXMLProcessorFactory.createProcessor(dbrep);
while (rset.next()) {
     Blob blob = rset.getBlob("DOCUMENT");
     BinXMLStream inpbin = proc.createBinXMLStream(blob);
     BinXMLDecoder dec = inpbin.getDecoder();
     InfosetReader xmlreader = dec.getReader();
     XMLDocument doc = (XMLDocument)domimpl.createDocument(xmlreader);
     doc.print(System.out);
}

I found a method using a slight variation of the code I originally posted. Essentially you remove the DBBinXMLMetadataProvider dbrep portion. I believe, with this included, the XML being extracted is validated against the database (which is referenced as a "metadata provider"). Since the SOA schema doesn't seem to contain the information to validate the XML it returns as blank. If you don't include the dbrep portion then the XML is extracted as desired.
OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();
ods.setURL("soa_db_connection_string");
ods.setUser("soa_db_user_id");
ods.setPassword("soa_db_password");
Connection conn = ods.getConnection();
String sql = "select document from xml_document where rownum < 10";
OraclePreparedStatement stmt = (OraclePreparedStatement)conn.prepareStatement(sql);
OracleResultSet rset = (OracleResultSet)stmt.executeQuery();
XMLDOMImplementation domimpl = new XMLDOMImplementation();
BinXMLProcessor proc = BinXMLProcessorFactory.createProcessor();
while (rset.next()) {
     BLOB blob = rset.getBLOB("DOCUMENT");
     BinXMLStream inpbin = proc.createBinXMLStream(blob);
     BinXMLDecoder dec = inpbin.getDecoder();
     InfosetReader xmlreader = dec.getReader();
     XMLDocument doc = (XMLDocument)domimpl.createDocument(xmlreader);
     doc.print(System.out);
}

How do I Grab data from Canon HF S10 SD card?

I have a guy shooting for me who is using a Canon HF S10. It captures footage as an .mts AVCHD format. I am trying to find the easiest way to get that data onto my harddrive. I am really hoping I do have to sit there for an hour or 3 and "capture" everything. I have a MacBook Pro with the SD card slot - can I just pull the card from his camera, shove it in the MB Pro, and copy the footage over as Data and worry about converting it/capturing it later from those files?
This is Final Cut Pro 6.

To all who care,
I have a MacBook unibody and am running Snow Leopard. I have experienced all the same frustrations listed above and on other related posts with respect to the Canon HF10 and Leopard/Snow Leopard. I will tell you that it made absolutely NO SENSE to me why Canon, a very Mac friendly company, would make these procedures SO difficult. Why would I purchase a compact high definition camera that fits in the palm of my hand if space saving and simplification was not a premium in the decision matrix of my investment? You're telling me I need to travel with a power cord, USB cable and an installation CD/DVD at every juncture of my video editing with cords scattered from heck to breakfast? Well, I don't, and Canon didn't intend on my doing that, either.
Procedure to be able to simply place your videos into a finger sized SDHC card reader after placing them on your SDHC/Class IV or higher/card directly from your camera:
1. Ensure your card in installed in your camera (duh)?
2. Turn Camera On.
3. Spin selector wheel to Video Playback.
4. Notice Four Options: Movies: Original (Built-In Mem), Movies: Original (Card), Movies: Playlist (Built-In Mem), Movies: Playlist (Card).
5. The work you've done all goes into the "Movies: Original" Locations. If you, like me, have popped out your card here and beat your head against your computer screen wondering why you can't get to what you know to be on the card, you've stopped here... Here, yes, you do need to follow the book procedure and play the musical cords and curse the poor ergonomic nature of this design.
6. **Clutch Move** Highlight the work you'd like to edit on iMovie in the "Movies: Original (Card)" section and press the FUNC. button.
7. **Clutch Move2** Select "ADD TO PLAYLIST", at which point you will be asked, All scenes on this date or simply this one scene. Do whatever you like, the camera means business. Confirm your request.
8. Check your procedure following skills by now moving to the "Movie: Playlist (Card)" category.
9. Whattaya know!!! Now something is there that wasn't before, that same video clip I've been trying to put on my computer now strangely exists in two locations on my camera... Well, just push the "I believe button" and trust me. When you extract your SDHC card and interface it with your computer, you will be very happy when you see iMovie respond to your request in familiar Mac style and fashion.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if any of you find success with the above procedure.
Godspeed, Mac friends,

How to pass csv data from file into DLL using TestStand

Hi,
We have data files which are of CSV format. Each row contains
about 9 items of data, and have about 5 rows of this data (ie, 5
test points) :
eg
TErrAdd1,UUT,UUT,STM1E,AU4/FR,PRBS23,BIT,10,60
TErrAdd2,UUT,UUT,STM4O,AU3/UNFR,PRBS15,B1,20,60
TErrAdd3,UUT,UUT,STM16O,AU4_16C/UNFR,PRBS9,BIT,7,60
TErrAdd4,UUT,UUT,STM0E,AU3/UNFR,PRBS20,B2,5,60
TErrAdd5,UUT,UUT,STM64O,AU4_4C/FR,PRBS11,B1,6,60
What we want to do is to be able to directly pass each
row of data to a C/C++ DLL. The DLL fn accepts this
data as a vector of strings.
eg.
void DLLTestFn( vector const & configData )
However, we can write a wrapper for the DLL as I don't
think TestStand will know about vectors.
We don't really want to have to hardcode individial references
to each item of data in TestStand. Is this possible?
Just read in a row from a data file, and sent it direct
to the DLL?

Hi Richardi,
the principle is quite simple, however, you still need to use a programming language to make the initial file read.
Once you've done this, you could have it as an array of strings, and pass this directly to a wrapper DLL, which would then pass the data into a string vector.
Look up the examples\AccessingArrays\PassingArrayParametersToDll\AccessingArrays.seq
to see how to do this without passing the sequence context.
If you've read in the details into a container type structure already, then I've made an example which demonstrates this principle and what you'll need to pass it to a vector. (Similar principle can be used to fill in the container when you read the file in the first place.
You cannot go directly to a vector, since TestStand doesn't understand them.
Vector classes are difficult to export polymorphically from a DLL since the template class doesn't export, and needs specifically defining. This is what I'm assuming you're ultimately trying to do. (see ref :
How to Export STL components inside and outside of a class
I've used VIsual C++ 6 and TestStand 3.0
Please let me know if this helps to answer your query.
Thanks

How to control UAD2 programmer from PLS-Develpment Tools Using Labview?

Hi ALL,

this programmer support ActiveX control as PLS-support told me. I had tried many times to control this programmer but i could not i have littile experience using Active X control but this time it looks deffirent.
Does any one have controled this speciefic device with labview? Please Support me?
Does any one have any idea helps to control this device? Please help?
Thanks and regards.

Do you have a manual for the ActiveX control?
It seems your problem lies in your current lack of understanding of the ActiveX control in LV.
This link provides a lot of information regarding the use of ActiveX controls in LV, follow the document links for more info.
Try to explain in more detail which part of the ActiveX control interfacing you don't get to work.

Trying to get data from a bluetooth device using labview. Can anyone help?

I am currently working on a project to monitor pulse rate and need send the reading via bluetooth. My laptop is bluetooth enabled and is using a toshiba stack. I am new to LabView and need some help with this.
Message Edited by Iceberg D4 on 05-05-2009 10:58 AM

You can definitely do this using LabVIEW. Search for labview bluetooth on NIs website to look for articles and documentation with regards to this. One thing I noticed and would like to point out:
On Windows XP - LabVIEW works with Bluetooth devices that use the Microsoft Bluetooth
driver included with Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later. Refer to the
Microsoft Web site for Bluetooth devices that are supported by the
Microsoft Bluetooth driver. Most Bluetooth devices come packaged with a
proprietary Bluetooth driver. To use the device with LabVIEW, the
Bluetooth adapter must be using the Microsoft Bluetooth driver. A
Microsoft Bluetooth driver for Windows XP SP1 was also available. Refer
to Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 323183: Availability of Windows XP Service Pack 1 Support for Bluetooth Wireless Devices for more information about Bluetooth-compatible operating systems.
Have a look at the following:

How to use the readLine() method when reading data from a URL?

Hello,
I have a URL which contains text input.
The only way to get the data from this URL is by opening a URL connection to it.
I would like to get the data from this URL but at the same time I would like to be able to use readLine() method of BufferedReader in order to read the data line by line.
My question is how do I combine between these two requirements in order to reed the data from the URL?
Roy

Hello Roy,
can you try out this code.
URL yahoo = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com/");
        URLConnection yc = yahoo.openConnection();
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                                new InputStreamReader(
                                yc.getInputStream()));
        String inputLine;
        while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
