How to read bits from the file?

Hello everybody,
I'm beginner in LabVIEW. I need to get bits from the file, but I don't know how I can do it. I use the example "Read Binary File VI" from LabVIEW Help, but it returns DBL array. And for a long time I can't find a solution to convert this array to array of bits. Can somebody help me? Thanks in advance.
Solved!

You can pass in the type into the Read Binary File VI to get the data in whatever form you want. Just remember that a boolean is really 8 bits.

How to read data from a file in OSB

hi guys,
Recently, I've got a problem with reading file from specific location. I've actually followed this post OSB 11g - Read or Poll File in OSB - Oracle Fusion Middleware Blog, and then
I know how to read a file. However, it does not as expected. Because, I've found no way to read data from the file. Therefore, no chance to manipulate the data like assigning to a variable, or extracting ....
Hence, is there any way to read data from file by using proxy service in OSB ??? No Java code ???
by the way, supposed that there is no way to read data from a file in OSB. So, What purposes will the way in the post above be used for?
Many thanks in advance

Help me how to read the Hyperlinks from the PDF file using java ...
Thanks in advance,

Instead of cross-posting unformatted code you could have taken a look at the API, because there you might have come across a method named getLinks...Even though it's not documented, I really suspect that it will return the Hyperlinks on a given page.

How to read data from a file that is already open by another program

Hey..
I have made IV, where I'm trying to read data from a log file, that is being updated by another program while my IV runs.
To be clear, this program writes data continuously to this file and I want to read from the file in LV at the same time.
The problem is that LV reports an error when I'm trying to read the log file, even if I use to "read only" mode.
I believe that the program that is producing the file, have some kind of lock on the file. I have tryed to copy the file and then reading from the copied file, but LV throws already an error when I try to copy the file.
Has anyone tryed this, and found a solution.?
Additional info: The program that produces the file is STM Studio
Best Regards
Allan

Hi Alha,
when that file is locked by the other program you can't do anything about that - apart from quitting that other program. Probably this isn't an option to you…

How to read data from multiple files and append in columns in one file

You cannot append columns to an existing file. Since the data is arrange line-by-line as one long linear string in the file, you can only append rows. A new row needs to be interlaced into the original file, shifting everything else. If you want to append rows, you need to build the entire output structure in memory and then write all at once.
(I also don't think you need to set the file positions, it will be remembered from the last write operation.)
Unless the files are gigantic, here's what I would do:
(Also note that some of your rows have an extra tab at the end. If this is normal, you need a little bit more code to strop out empty columns. I include cleaned up files in the attachment. I also would not call them A.txt.txt etc. A plain A.txt is probably sufficient.)
EDIT: It seems Dennis's solution is similar )

How to read data from txt file respectively

Hi,
I am triying to form an equation between two known points. I want to do this with the attached VI, the most critical point is that I will read the x1, y1, x2 and y2 coordinates from the same .txt file. They will be written in a .txt file and I will send them to the appropriate channel (x1, y1, x2 and y2) respectively. How can I get data in a rule from a .txt file?
Could anyone please help me with this issue,

Dear RavensFan,
Thank you very much for your helps, I am bit new to labview so I usually can not find the appropriate functions easily. And a new problem has rised in my application. I should write the A, B and C numbers in the respective series to the file 2.txt. I am able to write them in a straight forward case but I want to write the next triples (A B C) in the next row. Like this;
A1 B1 C1
A2 B2 C2
A3 B3 C3
So how can I put new line constant and space constant to my VI?

How to read data from a file

I have a file that looks like this with out the *'s
lastName firstName number
lastName firstName number2
lastName firstName number3
lastname = (string) an actual last name like smith same for first name
number = an actual number (int) like 90 or 120
I need to read the number from this file and store it in an array. I have some code that I started, but im not sure what to do next. Please help!
//int searchId;
     int fileData;
     vector <int> employeeIds;
     //cout<<"Enter Employee ID: ";
     //cin>>searchId;
     ifstream dataFile("Small-Database.txt");
     dataFile >> fileData;
     while(!dataFile.eof())
           //this is where i need help, how can i read in a number. i tried using the getLine() function but it did not help
          //employeeIds.push_back(fileData);
          //dataFile >> fileData;
     dataFile.close();Thank you for any help in advance

The >> operator reads a value corresponding to the target type. For example, to read an integer value, read it into an int variable (or long or long long, depending on the integer range).
The >> operator skips white space (blanks, tabs, newlines) and then reads characters corresponding to the target type: digits for an integer value, for example. It stops at the first character that cannot be in the representation of the type. If no characters are read, the stream goes into an error state, and further I/O requests are ignored until you clear the stream state.
You can read each group of data like this:
std::string first, last;
int number;
dataFile >> first >> last >> number;If the data doesn't have the right characteristics, the stream will go into an error state, which you can detect by testing the stream directly:
if( dataFile ) ...Using EOF as the loop control is not a good idea, since if there is an error, the loop will never terminate. You can do something like this:
while( dataFile ) {
    std::string first, last;
    int number;
    dataFile >> first >> last >> number;
    if( dataFile ) {
        // ... add first, last, number to the data structure
} Reading past EOF puts the stream in an error state, so checking the stream state before saving the data and in the loop control will do the trick.
You can use a char array instead of a string for the names, but then you have to add extra testing to be sure you don't overflow the array, and deal with the extra characters you don't read. Strings will expand as needed. The string is declared as a local variable in the loop, so it gets re-initialized each time through; you don't need to write code to reset it.
My example loop is not robust in the face of errors. Stream I/O works fine when you know the input data is well-formed. It is not suited to input that can be wrong, such as data typed from the terminal, because it is not easy to validate the input and recover from errors.

How to Read data from excel file without converting a excel file into .csv or any other format

Hello,
Can somebody suggest me how to read from an excel file (consisting of 10 work sheets) to an array?
Thanks,
She

You have to be careful when using the spreadsheet-files vi's. They are located in the Functions Palette under File IO, you will find "Write To / Read From Spreadsheet File.vi"s.
Here is what the Context Help says about the vi function:
"Reads a specified number of lines or rows from a numeric text file beginning at a specified character offset and converts the data to a 2D, single-precision array of numbers. You optionally can transpose the array. The VI opens the file before reading from it and closes it afterwards. You can use this VI to read a spreadsheet file saved in text format. This VI calls the Spreadsheet String to Array function to convert the data. "
This is quick & easy when the spreadsheet is all the same format. You can set the format to string as well. HOWEVER... you do have to convert the Excel spreadsheet to text before using it.
I haven't experimented with the Active-X, but it may look as the way to go if you have combination text / numeric values in the spreadsheet.
If you did convert it to text, then you can use array functions as well and treating the file as an array of strings (see very brief example attached). The example is to illustrate a point only

KennyNo, the file is really located in "/tmp/Contacts.xml". You would writeDocument doc = builder.build(new File("/tmp/Contacts.xml"));Also, your original code would need quotes around the filename too.
