Read and Write Problem

Hello!
I have a problem with the Data I/O in my program. The button "Animation" generates random numbers and saves them into a file. With the Button "Vergleich" i want to load the data and reproduce the data in the graph.
When i push the button "Vergleich" i can choose the data, but the program don*t reproduces it!
Coult anybody help me??

Here are two changes, one uses the write to spreadsheet and read from spreadsheet file functions, the other changes your "read file" to "read text file"

  • Windows 2008 R2 Folder assign permission "Read and Write" problem with *.doc file

    Hello All,
    I am a new one here,
    I am sorry for any mistakes and also my english is so poor.
    M Brother company runing Windows 2008 R2 as Active Directory...
    We have folder Name: Admin
    and in this folder, there are alot documents files as : *.doc, *.dwg, *.txt etc.....
    All user accesing to these files and they can open to edit and save...
    One day my brother want me to set Admin folder for all users just"Read and Write.." mean they still can open files to edit and save... but can't delete..
    I did success with this..
    But only one thing happen.. when they open *.doc file to edit and attempting to save, the message alert" access denide " and they can only "SAVE AS"...We don't want "Save as"
    Could you show me how can we fix error with *.doc file while they trying to save? because it allow only save as.. but other files as *.text file or *.dwg they can save without problem..
    Could expert here ever face this issues and fix by yourself, please share me with this..
    Please help me..
    Best regards,

    Hi,
    Office programs are specific. They will create a temp file when edit, then the temp file will be deleted when close. So Delete permission is needed for users to saving Office files like Excel/Word.
    For more detaile information, please refer to the thread below:
    Special Permissions - User cannot save files

  • PXI-6508 Read and Write Problem

    Hi,
    I have two PXI-6508 DAQ cards. I am using one for inputs and one for outputs. Using read data socket vi I am able to read from the input card, and using write data socket I am able to write to the output card. I am configuring one card to read and one to write, both work seperatly but when I put both vi into my application it crashes and refuses to work. I then need to reboot my PC to then start again. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi gedsy
    I guess you are using some ressources at the same time. The ressource can be a VI or a refnum or any other thing of this kind.
    You should check you are not using the same vis and expect different dataspaces. If you want to use different data spaces with same VIs, you must set them as re-entrant.

  • Open Excel read and write problem

    I am trying to deterimine what is causing excel files to open up as "Read Only" using Labview, when I excplicitly state to open as "ReadWrite"
    It seems to work well in the development environment, but not so well on some PCs in the application environment.

    Are you using a template file? Is the file marked as "read only"?
    Do you or the application has proper admin rights in the PC where it used?

  • Multithreaded problem in read and write thread

    This is a producer consumer problem in a multi-threaded environment.
    Assume that i have multiple consumer (Multiple read threads) and a
    single producer(write thread).
    I have a common data structure (say an int variable), being read and written into.
    The write to the data sturcture happens occasionally (say at every 2 secs) but read happens contineously.
    Since the read operation is contineous and done by multiple threads, making the read method synchronized will add
    overhead(i.e read operation by one thread should not block the other read threads). But when ever write happens by
    the write thread, that time the read operations should not be allowed.
    Any ideas how to achive this ??

    If all you're doing is reading an int, then just use regular Java synchronization. You'll actually get a performance hit if you're doing simple read operations, as stated in the ReadWriteLock documentation:
    Whether or not a read-write lock will improve performance over the use of a mutual exclusion lock depends on the frequency that the data is read compared to being modified, the duration of the read and write operations, and the contention for the data - that is, the number of threads that will try to read or write the data at the same time. For example, a collection that is initially populated with data and thereafter infrequently modified, while being frequently searched (such as a directory of some kind) is an ideal candidate for the use of a read-write lock. However, if updates become frequent then the data spends most of its time being exclusively locked and there is little, if any increase in concurrency. Further, if the read operations are too short the overhead of the read-write lock implementation (which is inherently more complex than a mutual exclusion lock) can dominate the execution cost, particularly as many read-write lock implementations still serialize all threads through a small section of code. Ultimately, only profiling and measurement will establish whether the use of a read-write lock is suitable for your application.

  • Problem with air read and write smb shared directory of file

    hi, everyone.
    I'm want to access smb directory of file,And to read and
    write operation, I would like to ask how I should do?
    Thanks!

    You can't access any OS facility nor execute arbitrary command.
    So the best solution is to mount samba directory BEFORE run your AIR application; you eventually can create a script that mount samba (and asks password) and then run you AIR application.
    see

  • Need help to read and write using UTF-16LE

    Hello,
    I am in need of yr help.
    In my application i am using UTF-16LE to export and import the data when i am doing immediate.
    And sometimes i need to do the import in an scheduled formate..i.e the export and imort will happend in the specified time.
    But in my application when i am doing scheduled import, they used the URL class to build the URL for that file and copy the data to one temp file to do the event later.
    The importing file is in UTF-16LE formate and i need to write the code for that encoding formate.
    The problem is when i am doing scheduled import i need to copy the data of the file into one temp place and they doing the import.
    When copying the data from one file to the temp i cant use the UTF-16LE encoding into the URL .And if i get the path from the URl and creating the reader and writer its giving the FileNotFound exception.
    Here is the excisting code,
    protected void copyFile(String rootURL, String fileName) {
    URL url = null;
    try {
    url = new URL(rootURL);
    } catch(java.net.MalformedURLException ex) {
    if(url != null) {
    BufferedWriter out = null;
    BufferedReader in = null;
    try {
    out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(fileName));
    in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
    String line;
    do {
    line = in.readLine();
    if(line != null) {
    out.write(line, 0, line.length());
    out.newLine();
    } while(line != null);
    in.close();
    out.close();
    } catch(Exception ex) {
    Here String rootURL is the real file name from where i have to get the data and its UTF-16LE formate.And String fileName is the tem filename and it logical one.
    I think i tried to describe the problem.
    Plz anyone help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    thanks for yr reply...
    I did the as per yr words using StreamWriter but the problem is i need a temp file name to create writer to write into that.
    but its an logical one and its not in real so if i create Streamwriten in that its through FileNotFound exception.
    The only problem is the existing code build using URL and i can change all the lines and its very difficult because its vast amount of data.
    Is anyother way to solve this issue?
    Once again thanks..

  • How do I read and write to text files on a remote computer's hard drive

    I would like to read and write data to a text file on a remote computer. This is easily accomplished using one of the file functions such as "write characters to file.vi". If I am already connected to the remote computer, all I need to do is specify the path to the particular file and it will work fine.
    My problem is that I want to connect to the remote computer programatically within LabVIEW (I do not want to have to use the computer's OS to establish the connection. Is there a function that I can use to do this?

    Yariv,
    You should really start a new thread with a new question like this, so that more people see it. Some people look primarily at threads that have no responses yet. Also, don't post the exact same question in multiple places. Or, if you must cross-post to some other forum, make sure to mention it in your question text.
    I'm happy to be a brick in your Western Wall, but I'm not sure what the main objective is here. Is the main problem really getting access to the "X bytes received in Y seconds at Z bytes/sec" string? Or is it accomplishing the file transfer? And what OS and LabVIEW version are you running?
    I think your problem is that you the LabVIEW System Exec command does not allow for the degree of interactivity that you need if you want to issue a sequence of commands to a command-line executable. However, under Windows XP (and, presumably, other Windows versions, though I can't check), you can tell the FTP executable to use commands from a textfile script by using the -s switch, and you can override the prompts during multiple file transfers with the -i switch:
    ftp -i -s:FILEPATH SERVERNAME
    If you issue a command in this format to System Exec, and make sure to create a file at FILEPATH with your command sequence (one per line), then you should at least accomplish the FTP actions. This won't give you the transfer details in the standard output, unfortunately. However, if you just want a general sense of how much was transferred and how quickly it happened, you can code that in LabVIEW by getting the resulting file sizes and using Tick Count before and after the System Exec call to see how long the transfer took.
    Hope that helps,
    John

  • Why does this class not read and write at same time???

    Sure you can read and write at the same time. But normally you would be reading from one place and writing to another place.
    I rather regret avoiding the OP's earlier post asking how to combine two classes. I looked at the two classes posted and realized the best thing to do was actually to break them into more classes. But I also realized it was going to be a big job explaining why and how, and I just don't have the patience for that sort of thing.
    So now we have a Big Ball Of Tar&trade; and I feel partly responsible.

  • How to read and write a string into a txt.file

    Hi, I am now using BEA Workshop for Weblogic Platform version10. I am using J2EE is my programming language. The problem I encounter is as the above title; how to read and write a string into a txt.file with a specific root directory? Do you have any sample codes to reference?
    I hope someone can answer my question as soon as possible
    Thank you very much.

    Accessing the file system directly from a web app is a bad idea for several reasons. See http://weblogs.java.net/blog/simongbrown/archive/2003/10/file_access_in.html for a great discussion of the topic.
    On Weblogic there seems to be two ways to access files. First, use a File T3 connector from the console. Second, use java.net.URL with the file: protocol. The T3File object has been deprecated and suggests:
    Deprecated in WebLogic Server 6.1. Use java.net.URL.openConnection() instead.

  • I have the latest Mac Air 13" and I have a Seagate 500MB external hard disk I cant copy or Cut any files on the hard disk and I cant even delete any files. I have the settings as Read and Write in the get info tab. Please help

    I have the latest Mac Air 13" and I have a Seagate 500MB external hard disk I cant copy or Cut any files on the hard disk and I cant even delete any files. I have the settings as Read and Write in the get info tab. Please helpand also note that my hard drive was formatted on a Windows 7 Laptop.

    thats the problem, its in MSDos (Fat) or NTFS for Windows.
    Options.....
    1. offload all that data on the HD onto your PC, THEN format the HD in EXFAT for use on BOTH PC and Mac for read/write.....then reload all (or as you need) that data back onto the HD
    2. get another HD, and format it for Mac OSX extended journaled.
    FAT32 (File Allocation Table)
    Read/Write FAT32 from both native Windows and native Mac OS X.
    Maximum file size: 4GB.
    Maximum volume size: 2TB
    You can use this format if you share the drive between Mac OS X and Windows computers and have no files larger than 4GB.
    NTFS (Windows NT File System)
    Read/Write NTFS from native Windows.
    Read only NTFS from native Mac OS X
    To Read/Write/Format NTFS from Mac OS X, here are some alternatives:
    For Mac OS X 10.4 or later (32 or 64-bit), install Paragon (approx $20) (Best Choice for Lion)
    Native NTFS support can be enabled in Snow Leopard and Lion, but is not advisable, due to instability.
    AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support NTFS
    Maximum file size: 16 TB
    Maximum volume size: 256TB
    You can use this format if you routinely share a drive with multiple Windows systems.
    HFS+     ((((MAC FORMAT)))  (Hierarchical File System, a.k.a. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Don't use case-sensitive)
    Read/Write HFS+ from native Mac OS X
    Required for Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! backups of Mac internal hard drive.
    To Read HFS+ (but not Write) from Windows, Install HFSExplorer
    Maximum file size: 8EiB
    Maximum volume size: 8EiB
    You can use this format if you only use the drive with Mac OS X, or use it for backups of your Mac OS X internal drive, or if you only share it with one Windows PC (with MacDrive installed on the PC)
    EXFAT (FAT64)    ------Can read/write from both PC and Mac
    Supported in Mac OS X only in 10.6.5 or later.
    Not all Windows versions support exFAT. 
    exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table)
    AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support exFAT
    Maximum file size: 16 EiB
    Maximum volume size: 64 ZiB
    You can use this format if it is supported by all computers with which you intend to share the drive.  See "disadvantages" for details.

  • Plugin-container and Flashplugin are both generating a million reads and writes an hour... even when Firefox is minimized and running no audio/video; how can I

    I am running FF 18.0.2 on a Win7 system with an i7 CPU and 8GB RAM. My Flash plugin is newly-updated. I've used Firefox on this machine its entire life (3 years).
    Since 3 or 4 (?) versions ago, I've been getting massive activity on my hard drive with Firefox. When I check with Win Task Manager, I see the plugin-container.exe *32 and the FlashPlayerPlugin_11_5_502_149.exe *32 processes are generating millions of I/O reads and writes, even while Firefox is idle (minimized, running no audio or video). On this latest version, 18.0.2, the drive activity stalls out YouTube videos repeatedly, even though I can see they're buffered ahead. The playing video will stop, audio will continue to end of buffer, and then EVERYTHING stops (Firefox not responding) for 30 seconds or so. It will then pickup again and play until it repeats the same pattern in a minute or so.
    Example: I closed and restarted Firefox 2 days ago. Earlier today I checked Windows Task Manager and found the two processes EACH generated about 161 million reads and 141 million writes since then! My wife's laptop is showing nothing like a hundredth of that.
    The constant drive activity is slowing down all programs outside of Firefox too, as you might imagine. The PC is acting like it's a dedicated machine for Flash.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Best Practice to Atomic Read and Write a Field In Database

    I am from Java Desktop Application background. May I know what is the best practice in J2EE, to atomic read and write a field in database. Currently, here is what I did
    // In Servlet.
    synchronized(private_static_final_object)
        int counter = read_counter_from_database();
        counter++;
        write_counter_back_to_database(counter);
    }However, I suspect the above method will work all the time.
    As my observation is that, if I have several web request at the same time, I am executing code within single instance of servlet, using different thread. The above method shall work, as different thread web request, are all referring to same "private_static_final_object"
    However, my guess is "single instance of servlet" is not guarantee. As after some time span, the previous instance of servlet may destroy, with another new instance of servlet being created.
    I also came across [http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/datastore/transactions.html|http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/datastore/transactions.html] in JDO. I am not sure whether they are going to solve the problem.
    // In Servlet.
    Transaction tx = pm.currentTransaction();
    tx.begin();
        int counter = read_counter_from_database();  // Line 1
        counter++;                                                  // Line 2
        write_counter_back_to_database(counter);    // Line 3
    tx.commit();Is the code guarantee only when Thread A finish execute Line 1 till Line 3 atomically, only Thread B can continue to execute Line 1 till Line 3 atomically?
    As I do not wish the following situation happen.
    (1) Thread A read counter from Database as 0
    (2) Thread A increment counter to 1
    (3) Thread B read counter from Database as 0
    (4) Thread A write counter as 1 to database
    (5) Thread B increment counter to 1
    (6) Thread B write counter as 1 to database
    What I wish is
    (1) Thread A read counter from Database as 0
    (2) Thread A increment counter to 1
    (4) Thread A write counter as 1 to database
    (3) Thread B read counter from Database as 1
    (5) Thread B increment counter to 2
    (6) Thread B write counter as 2 to database
    Thanks you.

    This is my understanding of the issue (you should research it further on you own to get a better understanding):
    I suggest you use local variables (ie, defined within a function), and keep away from static variables. Those local variables are thread safe. If you call functions within functions, its still thread safe. If you read or write to one record in a database using sql, its thread safe (you dont need a transaction). If you read/write to multiple tables and/or records, you probably need a transaction. Servlets are thread safe. You usually dont need the 'synchronized' word anywhere unless you have a function updating/reading a static variable and therefore want to ensure only one user is accessing the static varible at a time. Also do so if you are writing to some resource (such as a file, a variable in applicaton scope, session scope, or resource that everyone uses such as email server). You dont want more than one person at a time to write to it). Note the database is one of of those resources that is handled by transactions rather than the the synchronized keyword (the synchronized keyword is applied to your application only (not other applications that someone is running), whereas the transaction ensures all applications are locked out while you update those records in the database).
    By the way, if you have a static variable, you should have one and only one function (synchronized) that updates it that everyone uses. If you have more than one synchronized function, that updates it, its probably not thread safe.
    An example of a static variable you would use is a Datasource object (to obtain your database connections). You only need one connection pool in your application and you access it via the datasource variable.
    If you're unsure your code is thread safe, you can create two seperate threads that call the same block of functions repeatedly to ensure it works as expected.

    1. Restart the computer in safe mode. Certain caches maintained by the system will be rebuilt.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up than normal. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    When the login screen appears, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and test. There's no need to log in while in safe mode.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, go to Step 2.
    If there's no change after taking this step, continue.
    2. Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /var/folders
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "folders" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
