Reading in data from a file and terminating at EOF

Hey all,
Im relatively new to labview so this may seem to be a simple question. My task is to read in a file with integers with "n" lines, until the end of file. I only need to read in the first 3 numbers of each line. Right now my code works for only one line of code, but when I try looping to iterate "n" lines, it gets stuck in an infinite loop. I am not sure how to make the while loop end at EOF. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

I'm with Jeff.  By far the easiest way is to just read the whole file and use the Spreadsheet String to Array function to get all of the data into a numeric array.  You can then just use Index Array or Array Subset to get the values you actually care about.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

  • Kinect Explorer WPF C# read depth data from the file and conversion to skeleton

    Hello,
    I am using Kinect sensor to do some research on biometrics. Since it is impossible to find people to collect some samples, I would like to use samples from the TUM - GAID database, where there exist Color View and Depth View (in .raw format) samples. Therefore,
    I need to read these samples from the file and do a batch processing, instead of performing real-time collecting of samples (where I can take automatically the Skeleton view using the Kinect SDK). So, I need help on
    1. Reading the data from the file (instead of activating the Kinect sensor) and give this data as an input for conversion to a skeleton
    2. Read the .raw files 
    Thank you very much
    Kind regards

    Hiya,
     I doubt this forum, C Sharp, will provide much help. You are asking about the Kinects system not C#
    language. However, you can try this link; http://kinectforwindows.codeplex.com/
    Hope this help. Thanks :)

    Hi OraSuirya,
    you can try with external tables .
    syntax as follows
    create table ext_table_csv (
    i Number,
    n Varchar2(20),
    m Varchar2(20)
    organization external (
    type oracle_loader
    default directory ext_dir
    access parameters (
    records delimited by newline
    fields terminated by ','
    missing field values are null
    location ('file.csv')
    reject limit unlimited;
    For this you need to create directory
    Directory Creation syntax:
    create or replace directory ext_dir as 'D:\oracle\user_dir\ext_dir';
    grant read, write on directory ext_dir to <User>;
    please paste the excel file in the particular directory .
    I hope this will help you.
    Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere .
    Thanks,

    i am searching code to extract data from xml file and insert into another exiting xml file by a java program. I understood it is easy to extract data from a xml file, and how ever without creating another xml file. We want to insert the extracted data into another exiting xml file. Suggestions?

    RandomAccessFile? If you know where you want to insert it.Are you sure about this? If using this, the receiving file would have to have bytes inserted that exactly match the number of bytes replaced. I'm thinking that you'll likely have to stream through the second XML with a SAX parser and copy information (or insert new information) as you stream with an XML writer of some sort.

    If the files are small, you can load the target file in a DOM document, insert the data from the source file and persist the DOM.
    If the files are large, you probably want to use a StAX or SAX.

  • Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Win32 function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.

    Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory from a VI? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Call Library function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.
    The data is being received at 1Mbps.
    Thanks

    Two questions:
    One, if it's a serial card, then presumably it gives you more serial ports, like COM3, COM4, etc. If so, VISA would see the COM ports, and not the card directly. The drivers for the card should make it so that you see the extra serial ports from the OS. If you don't see the extra COM ports from VISA, then it sounds like the drivers for the card are not installed properly. Do the extra COM ports show up in Device Manager?
    Two, you said that you're using a Call Library function to get the data and you want to put it into system memory. Errr.... you just read the data and you have it in memory by definition. Are you saying you need a way to parse the data so it shows up on a graph or something?
