Using data in text file as indicator

hi all
i want to know is there a way to use a text file and use the data in it to represent and name as the label of the indicator ?
i have attached a sample text file , what i want to achieve is that as the first row of the text file is 2 3 4 6 , its should be represented in labview and also all the indicators representing the data should have the label as the data
so when numeric indicator is displaying a value 2 it should also name the indicator 2
also the file i am attaching has only 04 columns what if the number of columns are unknown , then how can i achieve the same thing .
i hope i am clear in describing what i want to achieve
with regards
Regards

Hi nolsqn,
what about reading the file as array of strings (ReadFromSpreadsheetFile as 2D array of strings) and display the content in a table? Here you could easily use the first row of the text file for the column headers...
Otherwise it would be a much harder job to "create" new indicators depending on the number of columns...

Spool SQl data into text file using dynamic sql

Hi,
I am spooling output data into text file using command
select 'select t.mxname,bo.lxtype,t.mxrev'||chr(10)||'from mx_1234567'||chr(10)||
'where <condition>';
here mxname varchar(128),lxtype(128),mxrev(128) all are of varchar type.I want the output in format
e.g Part|1211121313|A
but due to column width the output,I am getting is with spaces.
"Part then blank spaces |1211121313 then blank spaces |A"
how can I remove these spaces between columns.I used set space 0 but not working.
Thanks in advance.
Your help will be appreciated.

Hi Frank,
I have seen your reply for SET LINE SIZE function. But, I could not be able to understand it.
I am facing similar kind of issue in my present project.
I am trying spool more than 50 columns from a table into flat file. Because of more column lengths in few columns, i am getting space. There are so many columns with the same issue. I want to remove that space.so that, data can fit perfectly in one line in .txt file without any wrap text.

Unable to find file error while loading data from text file to Oracle

Hi,
I am having a interface where i am loading a data of Text file to Oracle.
But when i am trying to do this i am getting following error.
ODI-1227: Task SrcSet0 (Loading) fails on the source FILE connection SAPMM.
Caused By: java.sql.SQLException: File not found: d:/mdb/#General.get_filename

SAPMM is connection name.
I am using get_filename to get the filename and it is fetching correct value as the this variable refreshes in previous step of this interface.
KM used for loading is File to SQL
What would be cause of this error?
Thanks,
Mahesh

Hi,
Did a testing and following are the result
I have
A> created package having steps like
1. Declaration of variable v_filename.
2. Refreshing variable v_filename.
3. Execution of Interface which gets the file name from v_filename and load into target table
Package executes successfully.
B> created package having steps like
1. Declaration of variable v_filename.
2. Refreshing variable v_filename.
3. Scenario of Interface which gets the file name from v_filename and load into target table
Package executes with erre as it is not able to find the file
C> created package having steps like
1. Declaration of variable v_filename.
2. Refreshing variable v_filename.
3. Execution of Interface which gets the file name from v_filename and load into target table
4. Now create a scenario of the package , use the generated scenario in another package say main_package
Execution of main_package is successful.

Cant get data from text file to print into Jtable

Instead of doing JDBC i am using text file as database. I cant get data from text file to print into JTable when i click find button. Goal is to find a record and print that record only, but for now i am trying to print all the records. Once i get that i will change my code to search desired record and print it. when i click the find button nothing happens. Can you please take a look at my code, dbTest() method. thanks.
void dbTest() {
DataInputStream dis = null;
String dbRecord = null;
String hold;
try {
File f = new File("customer.txt");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
dis = new DataInputStream(bis);
Vector dataVector = new Vector();
Vector headVector = new Vector(2);
Vector row = new Vector();
// read the record of the text database
while ( (dbRecord = dis.readLine()) != null) {
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(dbRecord, ",");
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
row.addElement(st.nextToken());

How to extract data from text file to database table

Hi ,
I am trying to upload data in text file to database table using GUI_UPLOAD function .what would be the program for that.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
I don't think you have a standard sap program to upload data from file to database table...
Instead you can create a custom program like this..
DATA: T_FILEDATA(1000) OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: T_ZTABLE LIKE ZTABLE OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
 filename = 'C:\TEST.TXT'

 data_tab = T_FILEDATA

 FILE_OPEN_ERROR = 1
 FILE_READ_ERROR = 2
 NO_BATCH = 3

No, our table doesn't have that. Most of the functionality is managed at the informatica level. Is there any other way? Thanks,

How to export bulk data in text file

Dear,
We have an requirement to get data from GL CONTAINING below tables, but it's taking lot of time, could you share the best way to get data in text file as quick as possiable.
from gl_je_headers_v,gl_je_lines,GL_JE_CATEGORIES
,gl_code_combinations_v
where gl_je_headers_v.je_header_id = gl_je_lines.je_header_id
AND GL_JE_CATEGORIES.je_category_name = gl_je_headers_v.je_category
and gl_code_combinations_v.CODE_COMBINATION_ID =
gl_je_lines.code_combination_id
and gl_code_combinations_v.CHART_OF_ACCOUNTS_ID = 50349
AND gl_je_headers_v.PERIOD_NAME = 'SEP-2012'

it's based on formatting data in text file
you can use utl_file but it's row by row process your data
you can try spool
as example
spool c:\tmp\myfile.txt
select *
from emp;
spool off;or try export for example in sql developer

separated by gc_tab. "Horizontal tab constant created as note above
condense lv_outx no-gaps. "squeeze out extraneous spaces but beware if you have text with spaces...drop the no-gaps.
append lv_outx to my_internal_table. "table with a single field type char, sufficient length
open dataset datasetname...
loop at my_internal_table into ls_internaltabstructure.
transfer internaltabstructure-outx to datasetName [length if needed].
endloop.

Write data to text file on command using trigger

Hi there
I'm kinda new to using Labview, and i seek some advices.
I've got this program, which is used to read from a usb-device (6215). It measures the voltage at an input channel on the usb-device, and processes it, and finally writes the data to a txt file. I want to control when it writes the data (only one instance/ measurement at a time) via a trigger.
The problem is, that the trigger does not work. It always writes to the file i have specified. Can anyone help me getting this right?
Furthermore, if someone have any suggestions how to make the data in the text file more readable (i'dd suggest using colums - but how?) i would greatly appreciate it. Maybe converting to an exel-document could be the answer?
Thank you in advance, Troels
Ps:
Hope you can see past the danish text

Your true and false cases are identical and the file write is outside of the case statement. The boolean trigger does nothing. Why don't you try putting the file write inside the true case statement and nothing in the false case? You wouls also place the DAQmx Read inside the true case.
If you are not going to use an event structure (but you should), place a Wait (ms) function inside the loop.

Read data from text file one by one using for loop

Dear Forum
I want to read data of single colum of text file inside the for loop one by one(for each iteration value must be replaced by another value of text file).This value is used by a formula inside for loop. also after completion of iterations the values must be plotted on xy graph. How to do it.? please help me.
profravi

It's not very efficient to read a file line by line. Much simpler to read it all at once and then auto-index the results inside a for loop. The image below shows a generic solution to your problem. This assumes that the data in the file is in a single column.
I would also recomend checking ou the learning LabVIEW resources here.
I would aslos suggest that since this type of question is not specific to either NI-Elvis or the LabVIEW SE, you should post similar questions to the LabVIEW board. If you have problems, attaching a sample of the text file would help.
