  • How to read data from a .txt file in real time

    Hi
    I am running a fortran code which takes around 1 week to run and output data are continuously saved in .txt files. I want to display these data and plot it against time in labview.
    Lets say I have a array of real numbers starting from 1.0 , and every 2-3 sec another number is added (output of code). So I dont want end-of-file-reached error in my program and also want program to wait until next data is updated in .txt file.
    I tried to make a simple read_txt_file.vi, but I am getting problems in terms of continous reading. Help !! Help !!
    Pl see the attached vi.
    Thanx

    Hi PKJ,
          I modified your VI and it seems to do what you asked, that is, display the data from a file as the data is being added.
    Hope it helps!

  • How to read data from many excel files

    I'm aquiring data continusly from several sensors, and every days file name are changed. Data are saved on xls files.
    Now, I'd like to read every data from this files and put them in a waveform. How can I concatenate all files and read the values?

    You probably do not want to use a traditional waveform. LabVIEW has a Waveform Chart which inputs one point at a time. Waveform Graph inputs an array.
    I suspect that the data is stored in an array. You need to read the arrays in and build them into larger arrays. If your right click on the build array vi, you can select concantenate which will append one array to the end of the other. When you have built your giant array, just feed it to a waveform graph.
    If you need to see some example code, go to the advanced search page. It is at www.ni.com >> support >> advanced search (it is at the botton--click on the words). Enter excel read in the all the words field and search just the example programs. There were for hits.

    the data file is like this:

    c     c     c

    the total number of rows is big.
    How can I read it to an array without knowing the row number (array size)?
    Thanks.

    this is the part I finished.
    It will stop at 1000th line (I gave the initial array size 1000.)
    Is it because of this "for (int i=0; i<data.length; i++, k++) "
    so it stopped at the original size?

  • How to read data from a text file

    I have saved a text file on my hard drive, and would like to read the file. Once read I would like to copy it to another file. I think I am suppose to use the BufferedReader, and FileReader classes. I am not sure what sequence to follow in order to do this. Could some one give me some feed back on what is needed, and in what sequence to perform this task?

    Where do I store my file within my Platform(Eclipe), in order to read or access the file. Whenever I use the declaration below. I get an FileNotFoundException. I understand the code, but am not sure where to store the file, so that the line of code below will recognize it..
    FileReader in = new FileReader("data1.txt");
              BufferedReader a = new BufferedReader(in);

  • Populate a table reading the data from a TXT file

    how can I populate a table reading the data from a TXT file?
    thanks

    Hey Kevin!
    Using FORMS.TEXT_IO to bulk load data from a file strikes me as re-inventing the wheel. It is just about justifiable in a self-service environment, but I regard the EXTERNAL TABLE is a better solution for that situation as well.
    The same applies to UTL_FILE. I think the ability to read text with UTL_FILE is primarily intended for read file-based configuration or file manipulation/processing rather than data loading.
    Re-writing a text file into SQL statements is too much like hard work (even with an editor that supports macro definition and regular expressions) for no real benefit. You lose all the bulk load peformance you would get from SQL*Loader. But for QAD I'd probably let you off with it.
    You missed out one obvious alternative: using Java to turn the contents of an XML file into a CLOB and inserting it into a table which is read by a PL/SQL procedure that parses the XML records and insert the retrieved data into a table.
    Stay lucky, APC

    The problem is in the delimiters in your text file. By default, Read From Spreadsheet File.vi expects a tab delimited file. You can specify a delimiter (like a space), but Read From Spreadsheet File.vi has a problem with repeated delimiters: if you specify a single space as a delimiter and Read From Spreadsheet File.vi finds two spaces back-to-back, it stops reading that line. Your file (as I got it from your earlier post) is delimited by 4 spaces.
    Here are some of your choices to fix your problem.
    1. Change the source file to a tab delimited file. Your VI will then run as is.
    2. Change the source file to be delimited by a single space (rather than 4), then wire a string constant containing one space to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi.
    3. Wire a string constant containing 4 spaces to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi. Then your text file will run as is.
    Depending on where your text file comes from (see more comments below), I'd vote for choice 1: a tab delimited text file. It's the most common text output of spreadsheet programs.
    Comments for choices 1 and 2: Where does the text file come from? Is it automatically generated or manually generated? Will it be generated multiple times or just once? If it's manually generated or generated just once, you can use any text editor to change 4 spaces to a tab or to a single space. Note: if you want to change it to a tab delimited file, you can't enter a tab directly into a box in the search & replace dialog of many programs like notepad, but you can do a cut and paste. Before you start your search and replace (just in the text window of the editor), press tab. A tab character will be entered. Press Shift-LeftArrow (not Backspace) to highlight the tab character. Press Ctrl-X to cut the tab character. Start your search and replace (Ctrl-H in notepad in Windows 2000). Click into the Find What box. Enter four spaces. Click into the Replace With box. Press Ctrl-V to paste the tab character. And another thing: older versions of notepad don't have search and replace. Use any editor or word processor that does.

    How to read data from a zipped MS Access file?

    RPJ,
    You do not need to use the Close Zip File.vi when you unzip a folder.  This VI is used when you are creating a zip folder.
    As for examples, I found a couple of ActiveX based MS Access examples.  These programs look to be pretty basic.  For more in depth example I would search Microsoft Developers Network

    To be even a bit more constructive...
    Since J2me does not have a BufferedInputStream, it will help to implement it yourself. It's much faster since you read large blocks at ones in stread of seperate chars.
    something line this lets you read lines very fast:
      while ( bytesread < filesize ) {
             length = configfile.read( buff, 0, buff.length );
             // append buffer to temp String
             if ( length < buff.length ) {
                byte[]  buf  = new byte[length];
                System.arraycopy( buff, 0, buf, 0, length );
                tmp.append( new String( buf ) );
             } else {
                tmp.append( new String( buff ) );
             // look in tmp string for \r\n
             idx1 = tmp.toString().indexOf( "\r\n" );
             while ( idx1 >= 0 ) {
                //if found, split into line and rest of tmp
                line = tmp.toString().substring( 0, idx1 );
             /// ... do with it whatever you want ... ////
                tmp = new StringBuffer( tmp.toString().substring( idx1 + 2 ) );
                idx1 = tmp.toString().indexOf( "\r\n" );
             bytesread += length;
          }
