Labview not reading csv file properly.

I'm trying to use the read spreadsheet file vi to read the attached csv.
It does a few things incorrectly:
1) the first cell of the resulting array has ÿþ appended to the front of it, seems like labview is grabbing some special character it shouldn't? (Notepad, notepad++ and excel can all open the file without issue and none show ÿþ or anything like it).
2) It's mistreating the EOL characters as two line feeds, resulting in blank rows between each data row. (Looking at the csv in notepad++ confirms that the lines are ended with a CR and a LF (same as EOL).
3) I'm reading it in as a string, because one of the columns is non-numeric, but then I strip that column out and attempt to convert the remaining string array into a numeric array (this fails). It also fails if I pull out an individual element of the array and attempt to convert it to a number (in both cases using fract/exp string to number), below I have an example of trying to read the 2nd column of the 1st row (index: 0,1) which is formatted as a string: "1.37238168716431" and converting that into a number gives 0 as you can see in the snapshot of the front panel.
Solved!

I guess the file is in unicode, that doesn't help me very much.
I don't use the "Read from Text File Function" - at least not directly, although it is called in Read from Spreadsheet File. Where is it called, however, right-click doesn't show an option for Convert EOL, instead it's a terminal and it's default is F and as the terminal is disconnected, I'm assuming it's not converting EOL. So it's already "unchecked" in a sense.
No idea how to convert the unicode string to ascii. (no functions show up when i search unicode or ascii in the manager). It displays it just fine in the text box, so I'm not sure why it's able to display it without issue but not read it as a number.
Using Labview 8.6, by the way.

Question about reading csv file into internal table

Some one (thanks those nice guys!) in this forum have suggested me to use FM KCD_CSV_FILE_TO_INTERN_CONVERT to read csv file into internal table. However, it can be used to read a local file only.
I would like to ask how can I read a CSV file into internal table from files in application server?
I can't simply use SPLIT as there may be comma in the content. e.g.
"abc","aaa,ab",10,"bbc"
My expected output:
abc
aaa,ab
10
bbb
Thanks again for your help.

Hi , friends

Vision acquisition not reading avi file

Hi-- I am currently running LabView 2010 (version 10.0f2) to run the Multi-Worm Tracker (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mwt/).I am currently using the Vision Acquisition Software evaluation version, though I do not have any image acquisition hardware or camera connected; I am only concerned with running AVI files. Everything seems to work perfectly except the program does not appear to "see" the file, even though I am able to select it upon opening without issue.
It appeared to me to run and track images the very first time I ran MWT, though I was not able to see the video at the time. However, it has not worked since that first time. I am curious if anyone out there has thoughts on:
1) Whether or not it is the vision acquisition software that is responsible for this problem
2) If the evaluation version only works once (seems silly as it is good for 30 days... 28 now)
3) What I might be able to do to troubleshoot this
Thanks for your help,
Kevin Burls

-Sorry no info on how you are reading avi file?
-It is just an exe. That too looks like it needs lot of other dependencies.(Or am i missing anything??)
-If you need to clarify your doubt on Vision acquisition, just use one of the inbuilt examples in labview for reading avi files and then proceed.
-No, i think evaluation version works untill evaluation time expires.
-You need to provide the code not exe to troubleshoot on more.
Thanks

I am trying to import cr2files from the camera into lightroom 5 and keep getting an error message saying Lightroom can not read the files and therefore will not import them. Has anyone had a similar problem….thanks

If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

I have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version and it's not reading the files. I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them. can someone shed some light please ?

i have lost my photos/videos when i imported from my ipad 2 to my new imac latest version OS X 10.8.4
and it's not reading the files. I have downloaded iMac library manager and can see them. when i go back into iphoto i'm getting the following message :
Do you want to switch the current iPhoto Library from “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” to “iPhoto Library.photolibrary” and relaunch iPhoto?
I don't know what to do - please help !!!!
can someone shed some light please ?

So it appears you have only one library on the hard drive. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed to that library:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

ERROR:Could not read archive file - during Processing Base System Part 2

Hi there,
What I have:
* I have problem with installation of the Mac OS X Panther v10.3 on iMac.
* I have 3 original CDs (black with silver X).
What I did:
* I made new 1 partition and formated disk as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) over the Disk Utility in the first CD as normal without additional options (if I tried to format disk with zero all data and 8 way random write format after 3 days computer freeze)
* I verified disk over this utility - that was ok - HFS volume verifed.
* Then I restarted the computer and ran installation from this first CD
What happened:
* installation did not finish, because there were some problems during installation process.
* i tried to customize installation just for essential work (without other languages support, printers etc), but it was still the same problem
Installation log:
After I choosed installation type, there was first error, but it did not look like important.. - root: bootstraplookup(): unknown error code

It seems like a problem with reading some data from the CD, but during the installation checking of disk was ok.. maybe it can be problem with the cd-rom..? Or problem with data on cd-rom - I mean bad archive file..? But it is original CD.. What do you think??
Thank you!

Adobe 11 will not read my files.

I have downloaded Adobe 11 several times, with and without the anti-virus set, and though it recognises my files Microsoft reports it had 'encountered a problem and is closing it down' when I try to open them. When I restore the system to Adobe 9 it opens my old files but, obviously, not those in '11' format. Any ideas?

Well, it's like this. Someone sends me some printed information. A bill.
A report , It downloads. I try to open it and it tells me I need Adobe
Reader 11 to do so and gives me a link. . I download from the link. It
takes an age but in the end it tells me I have successfully downloaded Adobe
Reader 11. When I try to open the file Microsoft tells me they have
encountered a problem and are closing it down. When I try to open any of my
saved Adobe Reader files I then get the same message. I have to use System
Restore to get the facility of Adobe Reader 9 back. Then it opens my saved
files again.

Illustrator files cannot be opened: Could not read the file because an error has occurred.

I cannot open some files from Illustrator which contain PNG files placed. When I try to open the file, I get a message saying: "this png contains addtional data for Adobe fireworks, which will be discarded upon save." When I press "ok" I get the same screen again. When I press "cancel" I get: "coulld not read the file because an error has occured". I am currently working on a Mac Mavericks. Using Illustrator cc and Fireworks CS6.

Eliana,
If you have some file corruption, one thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the (PDF contents, if any of the) corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the actual file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

Adobe Reader will not read pdf files on internet

I have lastest version of Adobe reader on a new mac running OS 10 Maverick. This has latest safari (7.0.1) as my internet browser. My adobe reader reads pdf files already present on my desktop, but will not read pdf files from the internet even after I allow "trust" this site. Can anyone help me to resolve the issue please. Is it a bug that Adobe has not solved??

Sorry if you did not understand my instructions.
Regarding bullet point 4: Check Reader >Preferences > Internet > Web Browser Options> The blessed app should be " /Applications/Adobe Reader.app"
You specified that you don't see the path, then it might be some problem in your installation.
Please see the attached image and let me know what you see on your system.
Regarding bullet point 5: Load PDF in Safari.
This means open any PDFs in Safari web browser.
Please make sure the below highlighted plug-ins are installed on your system by going to the specified path. And make sure the version of the below two plug-ins are 11.0.06. You can find the version by selecting the plugin and hit Command+i.

I keep getting this error when trying to open some of my illustrator files. Usually after trying 5 or 6 time it will mysteriously open without a problem. I've reinstalled Illustrator and that didn't work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled CS3 and that didn't work.
Why does it sometimes open and sometimes not???
I've lost I don't know how many hours screwing around with this and REALLY pissing me off!!!
AURGH!

I think this has something to do with the PNG plugin.

Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

CS3 not reading xmp files generated in CS2.

CS3 is not reading xmp files generated in CS2.
If I open a raw file that was adjusted in ACR in PSCS2 with PSCS3 it does not recognize the adjustments that were made to the file.
PSCS3 opens the file in ACR with the default settings and I lose all of the adjustments and crops.
Is anyone else having this problem. If so: is their a fix or a stting I should use?

First. make sure you have updated to Bridge 2.1.0.100.
2nd, Purge the Cache from the TOOLS menu in Bridge.
3rd, Delete and rebuild your Bridge preferences by holding down the Option key (Command+Option, or Command+Option+Shift work as well) immediately after launching the application.
4th, if that doesn't work, make a fresh, new Mac account and log in as a different user.
Then report back.
