Reading from file one at a time

I am trying to read from an Excel file one cell at a time, and am having some trouble. I have included my VI. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your first problem is that you are using the Read file function. This doesn't work with Excel. Native Excel files have their own special format and you have to use ActiveX to read them. If you have the report generation toolkit, you can use that or look at the examples on the Excel Board. You can also save the Excel file as comma or tab separated text and then the Read From Spreadsheet or Read File will work.
Second, if the file is static, you would be much better off to read the file all at once to an array and then just index out the values inside the while loop. It looks like you are getting temperature values from a file. Is the Excel file being generated at the same time as your program? If it is, what is generating the file? Maybe that program can be controlled by LabVIEW and you can get the temp values directly from it. If it's a file that is constantly being updated, then the reading is going to be somewhat comlpicated if you care at all about getting the most recent value.

  • How to read two files (one is updating every second, the other is constant) simoltaneously

    Dear All,
    I will appreciate if somebody help me.
    I want to read two files, one is temperature wich is updating every second, and the other is hysteresis energy which has specific rows and is constant.
    I got a program in discussion forum which read a file as it is updating. I checked this program in my case and it works.
    Then I added reading hysteresis energy file to the existing file. But while i am running the program, the hysteresis energy file is read with all rows.
    But the aim is that everytime which temperature updates, I need to read just one row of the hysteresis energy file.
    so, in this way in every second i have a new temperature data and one row of the other file.
    I tried to used "for loop" inside the program, but it did not work, becuase reading temperature will be stopped untill for loop ends.
    I attached the program.
    Could somebody help me how to read just one row of hysteresis energy file everytime temperature updates?
    Solved!

    I do not understand relationship between your two files.
    You have another VI or app that is writing data to both files and when new temperature data added you wish just to read the new data and then read one new line of the hysteresis file?????
    But is one is constant, why do you need to keep reading it?
    Anyway…
    The “Read From Spreadsheet File.vi” preformed an Open and a Close for each time it is called (if you will open the VI up and drill down and you will see). So that resets the file pointer back to the beginning and there for will read in the whole file from the first to the last each time if you do not set the start of read offset or number of rows.
    Now the Read from Binary File does not reset the file pointer and leaves the file pointer just past the last byte read so it will start with any new bytes automaicly only giving you the new data.
    I do not think you need to do the math with the Previous EOF=0 and the File size to get what I think you are trying to do.
    Plus use shift reg for the Data string instead of local var
    Set the mechinacl action of the stop botton to Latched
    So you do not need to init the two controls
    Also, I do not get the End of file encountered error (4) from the Read from Binary file if I attempt to read past. It just returns and empty string.

  • BDC read from file!

    Dear friends,
           I have one problem. When we are creating abap program by clicking on program button on recording screen it asks for the program name and there are 2 oprions..
    1) read from file and
    2)transfer from recording....second one is fine...but i am not able to use first option...how to use that and why it is used...
    Thanks And Regards,
    Bhavin Shah.

    Hi Bhavin,
          The basic difference between read from file & transfer from recording is that...
        In transfer from recording you have to give a session name or you have to choose call transaction. Here you have to give the data manually.
        The Read from file will generate a dataset where who have to give that path of your flat file. When you execute it the data from the flat file will go into the necessary fields you have choosen before. You can process the job in the back ground which will be executed and a log file will be generated so that you can check whether it is updated correctly or not.
          In general we use read from file option when we know that the data are correctly arranged for recording.
          For eg. if you want to update the database with the file you have to know the datatype and length of each database-field so that you can specify the data in a file.
          i.e Assume that you are having 2 fields in db-table of type char and length 10 & 20. Assume that you are going to give values for these fields as mala & kala.
    In the file... you should specify like this...
    mala      kala                xxx
    123456789012345678901234567890
    <---Ten--><-----Twenty------->
    In a Real Time scenario you have a very large table with 50 to 100 fields to update with a very large data like 1000 - 10,000 records and if you are not sure with the flat file data. Then you should not go for the file option.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Is there is abetter performance to read from file than my code for longfile

    Hi
    This is my code to read from file and show it in a text area ,but for long file it wait for along time to show the file ,Is there is better performance code?
    chooser=new JFileChooser();
                        chooser.showOpenDialog(sav);
                        File fe=new File(chooser.getSelectedFile().getAbsolutePath());
                        //out = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream(f));
                         in2 = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fe));
                         str=in2.readLine();
                         if(str!=null)
                             nn2=str;
                         str=in2.readLine();
                        try{
                         while((str)!=null)
                         { nn2=nn2+"\n"+str;
                             str=in2.readLine();
                         }}catch(NullPointerException e){}
                         jta2.setText(nn2);
                          in2.close();
                       // in2 = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fe));
                    } catch (IOException ex) {
              }catch(NullPointerException e){}
                  nn1=str;

    Yes you code would be slow because you are continually creating new string by concatenating one string to another.
    The easiest way is to simply use the read(...) method of the text area.

    Many thanks

    Hi Foreverduy,
    Before you run SQL Server 2008 express setup, make sure that you have installed Windows installer 4.5 and.NET Framework 3.5 SP1 manually. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143506(v=sql.100).aspx. Moreover, please turn off all the third-party softwares which could prohibit the installation process.
    According to your error message, the issue could be due to that your account has no rights to install SQL Server, or the corruption on the media.
    Firstly, please ensure that your account has admin rights. Also make sure that you right-click the setup.exe and choose “Run as administrator” to complete the installation.
    Secondly, please check if "msdbdata.mdf" file exists at d:\8268cd7b247d294de359c9\x86\setup\sql_engine_core_inst_msi\PFiles\SqlServr\MSSQL.X\MSSQL\Binn\Template. If it exists, please make sure that your account has read permission to the extracted
    folder.
    However, if the file doesn't exist in the extraction, the media could be corrupt. Please download the
    media
    again and check if the issue still occurs.
    Regards,
    Michelle Li

  • Read from file and plot data against timestamp

    Hello,
    I know that there are already many posts regarding the question I m about to ask. But, I somehow dont seem to achieve what I want using the suggestions given in the other posts.
    My problem is that, I have a file with the first column as a time stamp containing hour, minute, second and millisecond. The second column in a set of pressure values. I want to plot a graph of these pressure values against the timestamp recorded in this .txt file. Whatever I do, the timestamp values seem to skip by a couple of seconds.
    How do i do this correctly?
    Also, Is it advisable to use the read from file or the read from spreadsheet file vi? Kindly help me out.
    Thanks and regards.

    Hey, I was having a similar issue the other day.  The first problem I had was how to open the file and actually get the timestamp information.  Since I'm using LabView 8.0, I had to go into Read Spreadsheet File and create a new vi to open strings (in an array form).  That's the Read Spreadsheet File (string) vi below.  Then, I had to figure out how to convert the string of a timestamp to something meaningful to me.  The Timestamp2.vi is how I did that below.  I'm also including a little test file.  So, to run Timestamp2.vi, you will have to input the right base path, and have the Read Spreadsheet File (string).vi in the same place as Timestamp2.  Hope that helps.  I think I'm finally getting this stuff, so let me know if it doesn't work.

  • Web Service; Error attempting to read from file

    I'm trying to connect to a web service as outlined by the book "Creating Dynamic Forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer" which is an excellent book by the way.
    I'm receiving the following error "Error attempting to read from file. http://www.webservicex.net/BibleWebservice.asmx"
    I've successfully created the Data Connection to
    http://www.webservicex.net/BibleWebservice.asmx?wsdl
    I dragged and dropped the bookTitle, chapter & Versie onto the form. I also dragged and dropped the GetBibleWordsByChapterAndVerseResult and the GetBibleWordsByChapterAndVerseBtn.
    I Preview PDF and click the button I get the above error.
    Does anyone have experience using Web Services with Adobe LiveCycle ES and have advice on how to resolve this. Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    -Todd

    Well, I have more news on the error I'm getting. - NO I didn't find the problem. Yet
    I checked and made sure that web.config had "None" selected " in authentication mode. I.E. <authentication mode="None" /> This should eliminate any authentication problems since that turns off IIS's authentication checking.
    At first I was thinking the form was generating the error trying to read the result coming back from the web service, but I put in some code that writes the result to a log file when the method fires off.
    I noticed that when I clicked on the button on the form, the error message would pop up from Acrobat, but when I check the log file, there was NO entry. This means that Acrobat failed before it could execute the method.
    Here is the web method:
    [WebMethod(CacheDuration = 30,
    Description="Returns the String 'True' or 'False' whether or
    not you entered a 'T' or 't'.")]
    public string TF(string Tf)

    if(Tf.Substring(0,1).ToLower()=="t"){
    result= "True";}

  • Select file one at a time

    I just created my first automator plugin to sort and rename video files from a JVC Everio camera. Once I have the .MOD files, I am using MPEG Streamclip from www.squared5.com to convert those files into a .DV file for iDVD or iMovie. The problem is that MPEG Streamclip can only do one file at a time. Rather then dragging one file in at a time, I would like to create a plugin for this. Is there an action in automator that will select one file at a time in a folder?

    If you are actually running Leopard (this is the Tiger Automator forum) there is the Dispense Items Incrementally action at http://automator.us/leopard/downloads/index.html .

  • Reading from files

    hello,
    I am in the process of doing my final year project. I am just doing some testing to find out certain things and I have come across this problem which I would like some advice on.
    Below is the code I am using to try this out. I am able to output the contents of a text file but not the pdf. Is this because I am using the wrong file reader or is it because PDFs like Doc files have formating, font types etc which txt files do not and therefore Java cannot read them?
    I would also like to know if Java can read one or more files and output their contents at the same time for example FileReader = new FileReader ("data.txt", "btcssbill20080601ref698520080602170743.pdf"); Therefore I won't have to create a new object each time I can just do it on one line of code?
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO code application logic here
    try
    FileReader file = new FileReader ("data.txt");
    FileReader file1 = new FileReader ("btcssbill20080601ref698520080602170743.pdf");
    BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader (file);
    BufferedReader buffer1 = new BufferedReader (file1);
    String line = "";
    while ((line = buffer.readLine())!= null)
    System.out.println(line);
    buffer.close();
    catch (IOException e)
    System.out.println("A read error has occured ");

  • Read from file at a particular rate

    hi
    could anyone tell me if its possible to read from a previously stored text file at some required  rate?
    ( for example if i have 100 entries in my file i wish to read one value every 5 seconds)
    thanks in advance
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    First, you'll have to learn not to use Express VI's.  (Look in example finder for examples on file I/O)
    1.  You have no good control over the way it accesses the data.
    2.  It puts out the annoying dynamic datatype which hides what the data is, and makes you jump through hoops to get the real data out of it.
    Second, you need a loop.  Right now your code is set up to just run as a single shot.
    Here is how you would read one line at a time with a 2 second delay.  (Note that the read text file was set in its right click menu to "read lines".)
    Another alternative, (and probably better), would be to read the whole file at once, and then just index the values out of the resulting array in a loop with a 2 second delay.
    The formula express VI's are doing some operations that could be handled easily with native LabVIEW code.  I would get rid of those express VI's.  The first formula node has some pretty basic operatons as well.  The bigger formula node could also be done with basic LabVIEW operations, but the coding logic going on in there is complicated enough that I would probably leave that formula node as it is.

  • Error 1305 - Error reading from file C:\Users\Davy Ravenhorst\AppData\Local\Adobe\...

    Hi! I tried to download Adobe Reader 9.3 from your website (www.adobe.com), it downloaded successfully, but when I tried to install it, I got this error:
    Do you know how I can install it so it will read this file? I am not computer-savvy so I don't want to mess with the Security properties of this file nor do anything else with this (or even just anything), unless you are sure you know how to do it so it doesn't mess up my computer. Please help me install this program!! Any help on this is always greatly appreciated!!!
    Thank You.

    Sounds like something is wrong with your profile.
    Create a new admin profile and log into that and try to install adobe reader.  If that works fine, then something is wrong with your profile, if you get the same error message than something is wrong with the machine.
    You can also go to "right click" my computer and go to manage.
    Under there find "services" and see if the windows installer is disabled.
    Do you have the latest java 6.20?  Not that it's needed, but you may want to see if you can installl something else.  It may not even be Adobe, it could be that you can't install anything.
    Creating a new admin profile may not have anything to do with the installation, but I will give it a try anyway.
    Edit   I tried creating a new admin accout (it worked out succesfully), but when I tried to log into this account, the User Account service failed to log me into it, even with a new password. So this does not apply and I deleted the new account.
    As for the Windows Installer in Services, I changed the startup option from Manual to Automatic, and also started it.
    I will try running the installer to see if it installs succesfully.
    Do you think I could remove the Adobe folder from Program Files, to see if this makes a difference? This is just a suggestion. Any other suggestions please let me know.
    I was also thinking, if there are any other Adobe Reader setup files I can download? If so, please post the links in your reply.
    Edit 2   I was also wondering (or even worrying) about this:
    Does this mean I have to reinstall Windows Vista, simply because I cannot install Adobe Reader because of "missing files and/or folders" thing?!? I have been getting other installation errors from installing other programs (like for instance, I got an "Internal error ..." error because it could not find a specific Temp file when I tried to install Google Earth; or, I got some kind of an error because it could not find an "Installer" folder when I installed Dell Support Center)?!? I would HATE to do this, especially since I made (and wasted) a lot of time backing up my important files, installing Windows Vista, and THEN installing some programs. And NOW I get these errors trying to install?! Good grief!! PLEASE HELP!!

  • Combine files to PDF and selecting files one at a time - Adobe CreatePDF online application

    Are you able to select up to 10 files at one time through the "select files" browser window?  The instructions at https://www.acrobat.com/createpdf/en/merge-combine-pdf-files-online.html seem to indicate that you are able to select up to 10 items and then convert and combine. 
    "1 Sign in to your CreatePDF account online
    2 Click on Combine files to PDF, then Select Files
    3 Choose one or more files to merge into a single PDF
    4 Click Open"
    At this point I am only able to select files 1 at a time, which means steps 3 and 4 repeat up to 10 times if you are combining the maximum 10 files at once.  I have tried using shift select and ctrl select to no avail.
    Thank you for any help on this issue.

    I think I found my answer at a different set of instuctions at http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/kb/using-createpdf.html.  This set of instructions clearly indicates that files will be selected 1 at a time.
    Click Combine Files To PDF.
    Click Select Files.
    Select one of the files that you want to combine.
    Click Open.
    Click Add Files and select additional files to combine. Click Open."
    If anyone has any ideas on how to more quickly combine files, any help would be greatly appreciated.
