Read a text file and display a xy graph

Hi!
I am using LabVIEW 8.5, and I am trying to read columns from
a file and plot with xy graph. I can do it with two channels, but I am having
problems when the numbers of channels connected increase (maybe six or ten).
My text file looks like this:
[Where first column x = time, the rest of the columns are
channels = y]
8.828        22.604        23.076            [The number of channels connected can
change]
9.828        22.604        22.604
10.828      21.658        22.131
11.828      22.131        22.131
12.828      22.131        22.131
13.828      22.604        22.604
14.828      21.658        22.604
15.828      22.131        22.131
16.828      21.658        23.076
17.828      22.604        22.131
18.828      22.131        22.604
I attached a picture of what I already try… Now I am trying
a combination of those. If anyone has some
advice or suggestion, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Julieta.

Thanks for the advice!... I just modified what I had a
little bit and it is working, maybe is not the optimums solution…
I would like to make the time invisible in the graph… It that possible? I attached a picture of my graph, because my English is not good.  There are two lines near to 22 (two channels
connected at that moment), and a line near to 0 which is time (the strong pink one).  I would like to make invisible the strong
prink one only.  I try to make invisible,
but I fail… I changed colors looking for another solution and I fail again,
because it is taking the colors that I choose for the channels.  I can not disable because I need it to make
the x axes works with the time that I already saved. 
If someone has an advice or suggestion I really appreciate it…
Sincerely,
Julieta.

  • I need to read data from a text file and display it in a datagrid.how can this be done..please help

    hey ppl
    i have a datagrid in my form.i need to read input(fields..sort of a database) from a text file and display its contents in the datagrid.
    how can this  be done.. and also after every few seconds reading event should be re executed.. and that the contents of the datagrid will keep changing as per the changes in the file...
    please help as this is urgent and important.. if possible please provide me with an example code as i am completely new to flex... 
    thanks.....  

    It's not possible to read from a file without using classes from the core API*. You'll have to get clarification from your instructor as to which classes are and are not allowed.
    [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/]
    *Unless you write a bunch of JNI code to replicate what the java.io classes are doing.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

  • Reading from a text file and displaying the contents with in a frame

    Hi All,
    I am trying to read some data from a text file and display it on a AWT Frame. The contents of the text file are as follows:
    pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1,
    pcode2,pname2,price2,sname1,
    I am writing a method to read the contents from a text file and store them into a string by using FileInputStream and InputStreamReader.
    Now I am dividing the string(which has the contents of the text file) into tokens using the StringTokenizer class. The method is as show below
    void ReadTextFile()
                        FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(new File("nieman.txt"));
                         InputStreamReader isr=new InputStreamReader(fis);
                         char[] buf=new char[1024];
                         isr.read(buf,0,1024);
                         fstr=new String(buf);
                         String Tokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(fstr,",");
                         while(st.hasMoreTokens())
                                          pcode1=st.nextToken();
                               pname1=st.nextToken();
              price1=st.nextToken();
                              sname1=st.nextToken();
         } //close of while loop
                    } //close of methodHere goes my problem: I am unable to display the values of pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 when I am trying to access them from outside the ReadTextFile method as they are storing "null" values . I want to create a persistent string variable so that I can access the contents of the string variable from anywhere with in the java file. Please provide your comments for this problem as early as possible.
    Thanks in advance.

    If pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 are global variables, which I assume they are, then simply put the word static in front of them. That way, any class in your file can access those values by simply using this notation:
    MyClassName.pcode1;
    MyClassName.pname1;
    MyClassName.price1;
    MyClassName.sname1

    There are so many things wrong with this VI, I'm not even sure where to start.
    Hard-coding paths that point to your user folder on the block diagram. What if somebody else tries to run it? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on Windows 7? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on a Mac or Linux? They'll get an error.
    Not using Read From Spreadsheet File.
    Use of local variables to populate an array.
    Cannot insert values into an empty array.
    What if there's a line missing from the text file? Now your data will not line up. Your case structure does handle this.
    Also, how does this answer the poster's question?

    What I wanna do is to read all the data above and buffer them in a queue for each user( there are only 10 users in total).
    I already created a class called Class packet:
    public class packet {
        private int timestamp;
        private int user_id;
        private int packet_id;
        private int packet_seqno;
        private int packet_size;
        /** Creates a new instance of packet */
        public packet(int timestamp,int user_id, int packet_id,int packet_seqno, int packet_size)
            this.timestamp = timestamp;
            this.user_id=user_id;
            this.packet_id=packet_id;
            this.packet_seqno=packet_seqno;
            this.packet_size=packet_size;
    }then I wanna to create another Class called Class user which I can create a queue for each user (10 users in total) to store type packet information. the queue for each user will be in the order by timestamp.
    any idea and sample code will be appreciated.

    Doesn't sound too hard to me. Your class User (the convention says to capitalize class names) will have an ArrayList or Vector in it to represent the queue, and a method to store a Packet object into the List. An array or ArrayList or Vector will hold the 10 user objects. You will find the right user object from packet.user_id and call the method.
    Please try to write some code yourself. You won't learn anything from having someone else write it for you. Look at sample code using ArrayList and Vector, there's plenty out there. Post in the forum again if your code turns out not to behave.

    See in this case as you are dealing with Files and database. you need read the File by using the I/O Streams. if you have to select some particular values you can go Random access file.Once you have retrived values. You can go for the second part that is make a jdbc connection to database, and use simple SQL statements to populate those values into the table.
    How this will give you a better picture

  • Issue : Read a text file and print the same

    Hi, My requirement is to read a text file and print it the same way.
    import java.io.BufferedReader;
    import java.io.FileReader;
    public class CatFile {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception

    The text file i used contains
    A
    B
    C
    but my output is ABC.
    What change should be made to print it the same way in the txt file ?

    Hi EJP,
    I modified the code based on your suggestion and now its working as expected. Thanks
    Modified code :

  • Can a servlet read a jsp file and display its contents?

    Hi,
    I would like to know if Servlets can read a Jsp file and display its contents.. Right now for our website, I am using a html file to be displayed after a successful post operation through the Servlets...
    -Thanks!

    I posted this in another thread.
    Here's some code that reads using a URL. This doesn't work with JSPs as the server executes JSP when it connects but it's useful for other file types. Note that the filename is a URI</h1>This is <code>show.jsp</code></h1>
    <hr>
    <%! String file = null; %>
    <%! java.io.InputStream is = null; %>
    <%
    file = request.getParameterValues("filename")[0];
    try {
       is = (new java.net.URL(file)).openStream();
    } catch (java.io.IOException ioe) { out.write(file + " not found!<br>"); }
    java.io.BufferedReader in = new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(is));
    String line = "";
    %>
    <pre>
    <%
    while((line = in.readLine()) != null) {

  • Reading a text file and transferring values into array

    Hi,
    I have a problem. So what I am trying to do is that, I read a text file and insert specific values from the text file into an array for future needs.
    But I have to make sure that there is no duplicate entries. So thats what I have but, my method takes forever to finish...
    here is my code:
    String nomFichier = "Test_" + numTest + "_" + date + ".txt";
            String ligne = "";
            int z = 0;
            int j = 0;
            BufferedReader lecteurFichier = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(nomFichier));
            while ((ligne = lecteurFichier.readLine()) != null) {
                if (z > 3)
                    String valeur = "";
                    String dist = "";
                    boolean unique = true;
                    String [] chiffre = ligne.split(";");
                     if (intervalleAnalyser == 1)
                        valeur = chiffre[3];
                        dist = chiffre[4];
                    if (intervalleAnalyser == 2)
                        valeur = chiffre[2];
                        dist = chiffre[4];
                    if (intervalleAnalyser == 3)
                        valeur = chiffre[1];
                        dist = chiffre[4];
                    if (z == 4) {
                        intervalleDiagramme[j] = valeur;
                        j++;
                    if (z > 4) {
                        for (int i = 0; i < intervalleDiagramme.length; i++)
                             for (int x = 0; x < i; x++)
                                 if(intervalleDiagramme[i] == intervalleDiagramme[x])
                                    unique = false;
                        if (unique)
                            intervalleDiagramme[j] = valeur;
                        j++;
                z++;
            lecteurFichier.close(); // toujours fermer le fichier

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply,
    1) Yeah I have a method that asks the question and assigns it to a variable.
    2) Well the z will stop once there is no lines to read no?
    for the set.add(), I am not that familar...
    I changed bit a code and I have this now:
    if (z > 4) {
                        for (int i = 0; i < intervalleDiagramme.length; i++)
                            System.out.println(intervalleDiagramme);
    if(intervalleDiagramme[i].equals(valeur))
    System.out.println(intervalleDiagramme[i] + " " + valeur);
    unique = false;
    if (unique)
    intervalleDiagramme[j] = valeur;
    EDIT:
    I figured a way to assign " " to all the values in my array. But I get this error:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 380
    at TP3.lireFichier(TP3.java:305)
    And my line 305 is: intervalleDiagramme[j] = valeur;
    EDIT2:
    So ok I found my mistake and corrected it. But I want to know is there a way of doing this without setting the size of the array? because sometimes there needs to be 21 values sometimes 19 and sometimes 20....
    If I take out: = new String [21] out I get a NullPointer error...

    Sorry I'm just beginning coding and I'm still a noob. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    Ok, so if I'm following this correctly you should be able to just loop through all of the files in that folder whose file name matches the pattern and then read the first 22 lines, recording only the first and the last.
    Exactly how you store the animal data probably depends on how you are going to display it and what else you are going to do with it.  Is there anything other than name and cage number that should be associated with each animal?
    You might want to make a dataset with a datatable to describe the animal, or you might write a class, or you might just use something generic like a Tuple.  Here's a simple class example:
    Public Class Animal
    Public Property Name As String
    Public Property Cage As String
    Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
    Return String.Format("{0} - {1}", Name, Cage)
    End Function
    End Class
    With that you can use a routine like the following to loop through all of the files and read each one:
    Dim animals As New List(Of Animal)
    Dim folderPath As String = "E:\Furry Friends Animal Shelter Solution\Furry Friends Animal Shelter\"
    For Each filePath As String In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(folderPath, "Report Q?.txt")
    Using reader As New System.IO.StreamReader(filePath)
    Dim lineIndex As Integer = 0
    Dim currentAnimal As New Animal
    While Not reader.EndOfStream
    Dim line As String = reader.ReadLine
    If lineIndex = 0 Then
    currentAnimal.Name = line
    ElseIf lineIndex = 22 Then
    currentAnimal.Cage = line
    Exit While
    End If
    lineIndex += 1
    End While
    animals.Add(currentAnimal)
    End Using
    Next
    'do something to display the animals list
    Then you might bind the animals list to a ListBox, or loop through the list and populate a ListView.  If you decided to fill a datatable instead of making Animal instances, then you might bind the resulting table to a DataGridView.
    There are lots of options depending on what you want and what all you need to do.

  • Include text file and display from text file

    Ok. I'm found the site with the monkey on the the flash thing and all it shows is a name, email and something else and I used it and it works by including a txt file and displaying text from that file as putting down this information
    name.text = this.name;
    and I can't find the site anymore to get help.
    I want to know how to include a PHP script that shows this information like this
    text=something I need&username=My Name&email=[email protected]
    I want to show this stuff on the flash but every time I execute by using it as localhost/test.php, it will show a sentax error.
    This is really stressing me out and I need a lot of help on this stuff.
    Can someone help me?

    ok. let me describe something else.
    there's 3 text boxes that is dynamic text.
    one of them is called name
    the other one is called email
    and last one is called location
    in the text file, it shows this for importing to the flash file
    name=My Name&email=EMAIL&location=My Location
    When viewing the flash file that you created, it shows the name, it shows the email, and it shows location.
    When I do it on my own even with a text file, it keeps on saying that there is an error on line 1.
    I found a site that shows how to do it and it shows what to put in a text file, and it shows the action script. On the FLA file that he shows me has a monkey on the flash file and it has 3 text boxes that I described above. As well as the text file, it is the same. I used the example and it worked but I can't find the example again. I don't know what happened to the website and I don't know what happened to the download I had but it is not downloaded any more. I have adanced systemcare pro so it clears out my recent web searches and my recent downloads so I can't find it. I did a google search on anything about action scripts. I even did a monkey action script search and I couldn't find it.
    It's making me mad and I don't know what to do. This is stressing me out way more than you think.
    UPDATE:
    I did a google search on a file I found in my www folder and I found it. finally.
    Here's the site.
    http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/externaldata.htm
    now, I need to figure out how to load it from a PHP file.

    Show us how you've read the data and what you've tried to do to parse it.  Once you've got the last rows, you can loop over them using Spreadsheet String to Array (after cleaning up a few messy spaces).

    I didn't know you're that active on here.
    Yes, There will always be the same number of noise header information.

    Hi
    Sorry, I missed that one. The file formatting is strange though. It uses spaces to separate columns but also within columns. I attached a modified VI that tries to take care of that, but it fails at the columns "Solar Energy" and "Hi Solar Rad.". This is very difficult to read programmatically as there's one space each between "Solar", "Hi", and "Solar" again. So how do we distinguish between column separator and space within column?
    Is download.txt the original file? Or was it probably modified by an editor that would replace tabs by space characters?
