Using Lab view ver 6,How can I read a cell of excel file right after I write to it

How can I read a specif cell of an Excel file using Labview VI.

Hi,
Attached is a LV6.1 VI which will read a cell.
It will be looking for a sub VI found in the example C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW\examples\comm\ExcelExamples.llb.
The returned value is a string value but there is no reason why it couldn't be a number. Just connect a numeric to the type connector of the Variant to Data function.
Hope this helps.

How can I read fast 50 MB Excel file in LabVIEW

Hi,
I have created a datalog file containing string i/p and having extension ".exl". File size is around 50 MB. When I read this file using LabVIEW, it takes 1/2 hour to display data in Array. How can I minimize this read time in LabVIEW. Or is there any options available to create large datalog files with string i/p and read it fast?
Examples are well appriciated.
Thanks.

What kind of file is it? If you are writing datalog files, there is no reason for giving them excel (.xls) extensions. Excel cannot read datalog files. The other way around, native excel files cannot directly be read by Labview.
In general terms this is what you may look into:
-use a compact file format like (real)datalog, fully binary or at worst plain ascii text file.
-you do not have to read the whole file into memory at once, depending on your application.
-look at your (RAM) memory space: it sounds like you are running very low on memory and the OS needs to pagefile most of it. Try closing all unnecesary programs and/or buy more memory. Also look for memory hogging inside your code: releasing data that is no longer needed will free memory used by labview. "Uninitialized" arrays for example may seriously slow down a computer.

HT5098 How can I read on my Apple Arabic files of Times New Roman or Arial in PC? when I get the files the Arabic letters are separate and not joined. Is there a common font in Arabic that can convert the PC Windows files to my Apple?

How can I read on my Apple Arabic files of Times New Roman or Arial fonts made in PC? when I get the files the Arabic letters are separate and not joined. Is there a common font in Arabic that can convert the Arabic PC Windows files to my Apple?
The same with email messages ,
And when I get Power Point files made in PC Windows, they are like PDF, not Power Point!
Anybody with a good suggestion?

Do not use MS Word for Mac, it does not support Arabic. Instead use Mellel, TextEdit, Nisus Writer or OpenOffice. Try the font Geeza Pro if others do not work.

I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data does not.)

HI Dave,
I'm surprised you get no message when you attempt opening the Excel document in Numbers.
I'm assuming Numbers 3.1, since you are running Mavericks.
Does the Numbers file that opens show any content?
Does it contain a table?
How large?
Does it contain more than one tab (indicating more than one sheet)?
Do those other tabs contain a table?
Have you checked those tables for data content?
There have been cases in the past of imported documents opening with white text on a white background, giving the appearance of containing nothing. Check for this by selecting a block of cells, then applying a Fill colour or a Text colour using the Format button (paintbrush).
I'd also suggest attempting to open the Excel files using LibreOffice, which can be downloaded from the linked website.

How can I creat or open an excel file in labview?

I am using Labview 7.1 and report generation toolkit. I got the example code from this address :"Creating a report in Microsft excel using the labview report generation toolkit"
But seems this example only can creat report when the excel file exist, otherwise it will get error code 7.
How can I creat a new file if it doesn't exist and open the file if it exist? Can I creat a report without openning excel because I need to creat more than one report and check it after the test.
Thanks

Simply use the "Open/Create/Replace File.vi, and wire a constant "Create / Replace".
Wire a path/filename and make sure the name ends with the extention .xls
If you have multiple lines (likely), place aech line in an array and use the "Array to Spreadsheet String.vi" before sending it to "Write to file.vi". Don't forget to close the file.
Hope this helps..

How can I read a TDMS 2.0 file using nilibddc.dll

I have written some Matlab software to read TDMS files into Matlab using the MATLAB TDM example and the nilibddc.dll. However, when I create a TDMS version 2.0 file with Labview 2009 I cannot read it into Matlab as I get the error
ERROR: TDS Exception in Initialize: Tds Error: TdsErrFileVersionTooNew(-2510)
Is this due to the versioning of nilibddc.dll and if so when will this be fixed? I understand that I could convert the TDMS file to version 1.0 however this is impractical and time consuming given the large number of TDMS files that I am dealing with.

How Can I confirm my Fusion Drive is working right after an OS re-install

I recently had a catastrophic crash that corrupted my OS boot. I took it to the Mac store and after some trouble, they were able to re-format and re-install OS X 10.8.5 which was the original install. However, I am having some performance issues in Sketchbook Pro and other apps that seemed to work great before. I restored my Sketchbook install from a time machine backup but wondering if this is an issue with hardware performance or if I should remove the app and re-install it fresh. The reason I focused in on the fusion drive was that it is billed as helping with performance of apps like PS or Other apps that might tend to have issue with lag and the tech that re-installed it said that installing the new OS fresh with the Fusion SSD in place was tricky. I am hoping to make sure I am still getting best use of the SSD. Any tips appreciated.

Thanks very much. I was reading that the "load balancing" functions are based on historical usage, should I expect that I would see some performance improvement over time for app performance?

How can I read "Keys" from a Config File that have square brackets in them?

I'm using the "Read Key (String).vi" from the config.llb and I'm having a problem because the key names in my file have square brackets in them. I'm creating an VI to read certain pieces of the TestStand �StationGlobals.ini� file and array elements appear as %[0] = "blah blah blah". It looks like they're not getting recognized at all. Is there a way to handle this?

I was just looking at the code inside the configuration VIs and the way they work under V6 is that the Open VI actually reads the contents of the configuration file, parses it (in nice-platform independent G) and stores it in a fancy LV2-style global called the "Config Data Registry.vi". The routine that does the parsing is called "String to Config Data.vi". My gut reaction is that this code is going to be the same in your version because between sometime prior to V6 of LV, NI changed the location of a couple terminals on the low-level Match String function and it looks like when this code was originally written the terminals were in the old configuration.
In any case, if your square-bracket containing strings are getting lost, this is probib
ly where it's happening at. The other place to check is in the read VI itself. The V6 VI for reading the configuration registry is called "Config Data Get Key Value.vi". It's output is then further parsed by a function called "Parse Store String.vi" if the "read raw string?" input is set to False (the default position).
Given that all the code for these functions are written in LV, you should be able to fix your VIs to read the strings you have in the ini file now. Which IMHO is actually the way they should work.

How can we read a column from text file

hai,
the Text file contains :
m1 m2 m4 89
m1 m2 m4 89
m0 m4 m2 90
I need one array for each column
m[0]= m1,m1,m0 (first column from text file)
m[1]= m2,m2,m2 (second column from text file)
m[2]= 89,89,90 (third column from text file)
andvance thanks

If a 2D array is OK (instead of 4 separate arrays), try something like this
import java.io.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
class FileReadColumns
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException, FileNotFoundException
    String line;
    ArrayList lines = new ArrayList();
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("data.txt"));
    while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) lines.add(line);
    String bits[];
    bits = lines.get(0).toString().split(" ");
    String grid[][] = new String[bits.length][];
    for(int i=0;i<grid.length;i++)grid[i] = new String[lines.size()];
    for(int i = 0; i < lines.size(); i++)
      bits = lines.get(i).toString().split(" ");
      for(int ii = 0; ii < bits.length; ii++) grid[ii] = bits[ii];
for(int i = 0; i < grid.length; i++)
for(int ii=0;ii<grid[i].length;ii++)System.out.print(grid[i][ii]+" ");
System.out.println();
System.exit(0);
