Telnet string to excel

im new to programming so im sure im missing something but....
im trying to collect data that IM receiving from a telnet session. Its in a string format. The data gets displayed in a table layout and I would like to take that and in bed it into excel. I will also need to set it up for multiple polling of the data and add each one to the file.
so do I have to create multiple strings that parse out each data point then build an 2d array to put it into the easy table vi from the report gen. toolkit?
or is there an easier way?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

What is not easy about that? You seem to already be creating a 2D array in order to display the data on the table, so you have the data. With the Excel Easy Table VI you can specify the cell where to start writing, so you don't really need to write out the whole table, only what you just got at that particular point in time. I don't know what your Excel file is supposed to look like, but if you're just saving it to file you could, instead, use the Write To Spreadsheet File. It saves to a tab-delimited text file that you can open with Excel.

Numbers saved as strings in excel using report generation

I am using "Excel easy table.vi" to collect data from LabVIEW to excel. The problem is that the number array I read from LabVIEW, is stored as strings in excel. I want to save those as scientific numbers.
I have tried using "set cell format.vi", but it will not help me.
Can anyone help me?

How to search and replace a string in Excel Shape (textbox) using Powershell.

I have been asked to write a PS script to search/replace a string when found in Excel Shapes when they are textboxes. I have seen lots of simplistic PS scripts and even I can do a "foreach" loop through all the Shapes on a Sheet and display the
Name of each Shape. But I have not found a property or method to expose the actual text in a textbox let alone change it.
I have seen vba script that does this as:
Set xWs = Application.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(I)
For Each shp In xWs.Shapes
xValue = shp.TextFrame.Characters.Text
shp.TextFrame.Characters.Text = VBA.Replace(xValue, xFindStr, xReplace, 1)
Next
In Powershell, shp.TextFrame.Characters.Text is ignored and returns nothing. It would be nice to know if this is possible in PS and if so, know how to do it and/or get an example to work from. I would have thought that
PS and VB would use the same Excel object model but apparently they do not.
I am using Excel 14.0 and PS 3.
Any suggestions would be appreciated,
Michael

This didn't work for me. I have the shape object and it shows the textframe property:
PS C:\> $shape | gm
TypeName: System.__ComObject#{00024439-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}

TextEffect Property TextEffectFormat TextEffect () {get}
TextFrame Property TextFrame TextFrame () {get}
TextFrame2 Property TextFrame2 TextFrame2 () {get}
ThreeD Property ThreeDFormat ThreeD () {get}
But trying to access it gives an error:
PS C:\> $shape.textframe | gm

Format Time Stamp String for excel error

Hi all,
I am currently trying to format the time stamp from labview to excel, in an excel recognizable format. Ive attached a photo of that part of the vi. The time stamp is formated correctly when it leaves the format time stamp block and after it leaves the build array block, but when it is written to excel file it is formated in what looks like a standard format and excel does not recognize this as a time stamp.
Any ideas to fix the issue?
Thanks

The Example Finder has a few ActiveX examples I think one uses Excel.
Also if you have the Report Generation Toolkit I think this is what you need
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/38D7104644E0F7A5862578B1001A86C5
It sets the cell format to be how you want. The default for a timestamp is "m/d/yyyy h:mm".
BUT I just think I have an easier solution. The problem is it correctly detects that this is a time stamp, but the cell format is incorrect. If we convince it that it is a string it will look right and I assume that's all that matters. So add a space to the front of your time, so have the format be " %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" (notice the space) and I think it will look the way you want because Excel thinks it is a string.

Number format changed to string in excel

because when it store it in the number format,
it is a wrong number.
thanks in advance

Pretend you are explaining this to someone who has no idea what you are talking about (because we don't).
Statements like "but therewas a problem" are next to meaningless because you didn't explain what the problem is.
You don't give any useful information such as:
* Version of JDeveloper/ADF
* What technologies are you using (I guess ADF Faces, but I don't know)?
* How did you try exporting to Excel?
* What was the exact problem you had?
I've already spent more time thinking about how to ask you questions to get to the real problem than you have formulating your question.

Read 2 Strings from EXCEL with GOOP or ActiveX?

Hello,
i use Labview 5.1 with WIN NT4.0 SP6a and i programm a fuzzy Logic tool for a exam in Computer Science.
Now i have a problem, and i read something about the GOOP and the EXCEL Toolkit. I download it and try more times to install but i can't link the *.llb in the Function Palette. Is this GOOP and Excel Toolkit only for Labview 6.x ?
I solve it with ActiveX and Excel, but my very big Problem is, i need to read2 string from the Excel table from the same time, and with ActiveX i don't find any method how can i do that.
I don't know how can i read 2 Strings from a Excel table, Can i do it with the Excel Toolkit,if yes how, maybe anyone make it or any helpfiles?

I'm pretty sure the excel toolkit is written for 5.1, and don't know why it
would give you problems. Do you have excel installed? I'm not sure what
you mean that you cant link the *.llb in function pallette. Have you tried
opening the llb using '\functions\select a vi' ? As to how to read two
cells at once, you could read a block of cells including both cells (ie:
A5..D10) and then pull the data out of the array.

Thanks in Advance*.

Hello Santosh,
Play with the below importing parameters in the function module "GUI_DOWNLOAD".
WK1_N_FORMAT - Format for value columns in files of the type WK1
WK1_N_SIZE - Column width for value columns in files of the type WK1
WK1_T_FORMAT - Format for text columns for files of the type WK1
WK1_T_SIZE - Column width for text columns for files of the type WK1.
It might help you I guess. Also read the documentation of those importing parameters by clicking on the long text green icon after the description in the IMPORTING parameters tab of the function module.

Can anyone answer this question? What is used to format a string so that it falls into a certain Row/Column in excel? see text for indepth question.

I'm attaching a file that may help. Just remember this is my FIRST attempt at using NI/FeildPoint so things that would be obvious to the normal users more than likely would slide right by me. So I'll try and explain what the text contains as to make my problem more clear. I'm using a FP-1000, FP-AI-100, and a FP-TB-10. i'm creating a application where I'm using the 8 channels from the FP-AI-100 to monitor a control system ,that we manufacture. The control system is in an environmental chamber. I use the FP-TB-10 to monitor the temperature while in the chamber. The control system is ran for 4 hours under varing enviromental conditions while I monitor vital system voltages with the FP-AI-100. Now the application that i'm building starts with the obvious FP CREATE.VI and so forth I have no problem communicating with the FP's, but the information that I'm monitioring needs to be placed into a file with Headers describing the information below it. Now I use a "WHILE LOOP.VI" to monitor the FP-AI-100 & FP-TB-10 for the 4 hour period. but before that I create and open a file where I use a "CONCATENATE STRINGS.VI" to enter the headers I need. I do this by CONSTANTS, CONTROLS, TABs, AND CARRIAGE RETURN being entered into the "CONCATENATE STRINGS.VI" in the order I want them to appear. I use ROW 1 to enter (OPERATOR:with a CONSTANT) an a (CONTROL so the operator may enter his name and be recorded into the file) using a TAB to seperate Columns and a CARRIAGE RETURNto drop down to ROW 2 for the next headers. I use header names and TABs to seperate the columns. This part works great. I end up with ROW 1 having the operator information then ROW 2 having the headers for all the channels I'm using to monitor the control system with in their own column. The trouble happens when I write to this file during the "WHILE LOOP". The information recorded for DATE:, TIME:, and Channel 0 of the FP-AI-100 end up right under their corresponding header on ROW 3, but the rest of the data ends up on ROW 4 in column 3 and goes down many rows with some of the data not being stored at all. It varies on how many rows are used starting at ROW 4 but hey always stay in column 3. I use the "FP READ.VI" outputing to a "ARRAY TO SPREADSHEET STRING.VI" outputing to a "CONCATENATE STRINGS.VI" for each channel within the "WHILE LOOP" then into the "WRITE.VI". I use the "CONCATENATE STRINGS.VI" to place my data OR atleast I thought you could do that some how I'm not quit doing something write either there is a sampling/timing issue or writing to file issue where things are being confused in the "WHILE LOOP" if someone know a better route to perform what I'm tring here I would be interested. Its not like I'm not giving it the old colledge try here but without proper training and the vagness of the manuals it's difficult to understand what every connection actually does.I'm tring though for everyone who happens to fill pity for me

Allmost right. The 8 channels come out as 1D-array, ch0...ch7.

I don't use this Spreadsheet VI, because files coming out there allways
start this time consuming EXCEL wizzard. Because of this, I programmed my
own CSV-conversion vi. Maybe you could just use a common texteditor, like
wordpad and put the csv-examples from my last reply down to a text file
and rename it to *.csv. Texteditors terminate lines with "\r\n" by
default, so this is a very quick way for testing.
> FP_Analog_Logging example to record all eight channels it uses a Array
I didn't find the vi you metione above, but there is another good one:
Look at examples\FieldPoint\DataLogging\FP Logger.vi.
In a little case structure, at "false", there is a function called "Format
into string".
Pop up on the format string and adjust >>'\' Codes Display<<.
Then you change the format string into: %.;%-f%s
A Tab string is connected to the lower input of this function. Replace
this one with a comma.
That should do.

Yes, just as explained above. If you put a indicator at the output to
display the values, you can expand the display to show all 8 channels, but
you can't name induvidual cells. In a array, all cells have identical
named labels. If you want to name the individually, you have to attach the
array to cluster function and put the indicator after this one. Enable
labe display and name the output values individually.

Explained above.

Well, modifying strings are done with string functions.
Above, as I explained how the sample FP Logger.vi can be modified to do
the job for numbers. The pre- and suffixing with ", you only need for
strings, which EXCEL should interpret a string and as nothing else as a
string, even if there's a number inside. You usually need this only for
headers. So its easyest, if you just write your string into a string
constant or control and concatenate it to the previous csv-file contents.
Oh, I just see by looking at the above mentioned example... Inside the
case structure, but in the "true" case, there are error messages
concatenated to the logfile. At this point it is importent, to use " for
integrating the message into the CSV file, because a error message usually
looks like this: >> ERROR 2345 in vi yxz <<
Here you have text and number strings mixed in one line. EXCEL does not
know, if it should interpret the number inside the error line as separate
number, separating the line into three colums i.e. string before number,
number and string after number. So tell EXCEL by putting a " before and
after the line each.
For this, expand the Format To String function by one input, move down all
connections, to be able to insert a string constant with a " to the first
argument connector. Change the contents of the string constant at the
bottom argument from tab to ", (quotation mark AND comma)

The example I mentioned above help here to.
Look at the Write File function. This function receves data from a
function named concatenate strings. Expand this function to have one more
spare input at the bottom. Create a string constant. Switch the constant
display to "\" mode. Enter "col0","col1","col2"\r\n into the constant.
Connect the constant to the spare input.
Doing this, every dataline in the csv file is followed by
"col0","col1","col2"\r\n .
I wish you a nice weekend,
