Write array into txt file

Hi Guys!
I need a VI which writes the content of an array into a txt file.
I have an array like this:
Peti   Teri
Zoli   Hajni
Tomi   Heni
Pali   Robi
In the file the first line should be a full timestamp (date, time), and then would come the content of the array. The name of the file would also be a timestamp.
Thank you for your help in advance!

Hi Victronica and welcome to NI Forums!
If you have some custom data, then it is up to ou to tell excel how to interpret said data (what information to put where, etc.) A simple solution would be to flatten your cluster elements into strings, and write those strings into an excel sheet using ActiveX. An example on how to write a table of strings is available in the example finder, and I also have it attached here in LabVIEW 2013.

Write string array into cfg file

Hi, everybody.
I faced the problem to write array into cfg file. I am trying to put many items in a key. It should look like
[Section1]
Key1=el_1, el_2,el_3,.............el_n.
each element is string of 105 characters. Everything works fine when I save the only one el_1 or multiple for the first time, however, when I am trying to update values in a key section some extra strings appear in a file. My VI is attached.
Thanks in advance

Do you realize that your spreadsheet string only writes the following:
1111111111
2222222222222222
33333333333333333333
The way you wrote your VI, it sends the entire string above to the value for Write Key.vi.
Do you realize that value is for the data type only? So I'm not sure what you want to do....
Without describing the problem you are having, can you describe what you actually want to do?

Write data to .txt file with formatting

Hi,
I am trying to read data from serial port and write it on to a .txt file. I am able to write onto the file but it has got no formatting. What I would ideally like to do is, read the data from serial port, take only some parts of it and write on to the text file with proper formatting. Also, I would like to use the same file to append data each time. I am also having issues setting the pointer to EOF. I would like to append to end of file.
This is my sample data
18:33:23 02/10/10 28.32 0 LAC 0.378 mg/dL 0000\
18:33:23 02/10/10 28.32 0 GLU 102 mg/dL 0000
that is being read from the serial port. From this I would like to take only columns 1,2,3,5,6 and write onto the .txt file.
Can someone provide some pointers? I'm using Labview 6.1
Thanks,
Sukanya

If you know what "charecters" you don't want it is pretty easy. A little more difficult when they are unwanted only in certain places in the string. There is a remove whitespace function in the string functions palette. There is also a search and replace function in the "additional string functions" subpalette, that can be set up to find all instances of a char and replace it with something else, an empty string if you want to just delete it/them from your string.

Java.io.NotSerializableException when overwrite the JTable data into .txt file

hi everyone
this is my first time to get help from sun forums
i had java.io.NotSerializableException: java.lang.reflect.Constructor error when overwrite the JTable data into .txt file.
At the beginning, the code will be generate successfully and the jtable will be showing out with the data that been save in the studio1.txt previously,
but after i edit the data at the JTable, and when i trying to click the save button, the error had been showing out and i cannot succeed to save the JTable with the latest data.
After this error, the code can't be run again and i had to copy the studio1.txt again to let the code run 1 more time.
I hope i can get any solution at here and this will be very useful for me.
the following is my code...some of it i create it with the GUI netbean
but i dunno how to attach my .txt file with this forum
did anyone need the .txt file?
this is the code that suspect maybe some error here
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
String filename = "studio1.txt";
          try {
              FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File(filename));
              ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
               oos.writeObject(jTable2);
               oos.close();
          catch(IOException e) {
               System.out.println("Problem creating table file: " + e);
               return;
          System.out.println("JTable correctly saved to file " + filename);
}the full code will be at the next msg

this is the part 1 of the code

If you think a file doesn't exists when you think it should, you can use code like this to print out what files are there:
import java.io.*;
public class Periscope {
    public static void check(File file) {
        if (file.exists()) {
            System.out.println("file exists: " + getPath(file));
            System.out.println();
            System.out.println("DUMP:");
            System.out.println();
            dump(file, "");
        } else {
            System.out.println("file does not exist: " + getPath(file));
            goUp(file);
    static void goUp(File file) {
        File parent = file.getAbsoluteFile().getParentFile();
        if (parent == null) {
            System.out.println("file does not have a parent: " + getPath(file));
        } else {
            check(parent);
    static void dump(File file, String indent) {
        System.out.println(indent + getPath(file));
        File[] children = file.listFiles();
        if (children != null) {
            indent += "    ";
            for(File child : children) {
                dump(child, indent);
    static String getPath(File file) {
        try {
            return file.getCanonicalPath();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return file.getName();

Write arrays into a text file in different columns at different times

Hi,
I have a problem write data into a text file. I want to write 4 1D arrays into a text file. The problem is that I need to write it at different time and in different column (in other word, not only append the arrays).
Do you have an idea to solve my problem?
Thank you

A file is long a linear string of data (text). In order ro insert columns, you need to rewrite the entire file, because colums are interlaced over the entire lenght of the file.
So:
read file into 2D array
insert columns using array operations
write resulting 2D array to file again.
(Only if your colums are guaranteed to be fixed width AND you know the final number of colums, you could write the missing columns as spaces and then overwrite later. Still, it will be painful and inefficient, because column data are not adjacent in the file.)

v_FileHandle:= UTL_FILE.FOPEN('s:\hit', v_FileName, p_FileModus, C_MAXLINESIZE);Seriously though, when working with UTL_FILE you should use directory objects to ensure proper security... note...
The UTL_FILE_DIR parameter has been deprecated by oracle in favour of direcory objects because of it's security problems.
The correct thing to do is to create a directory object e.g.:
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY mydir AS 'c:\myfiles';Note: This does not create the directory on the file system. You have to do that yourself and ensure that oracle has permission to read/write to that file system directory.
Then, grant permission to the users who require access e.g....
GRANT READ,WRITE ON DIRECTORY mydir TO myuser;
Then use that directory object inside your FOPEN statement e.g.
fh := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('MYDIR', 'myfile.txt', 'r');Note: You MUST specify the directory object name in quotes and in UPPER case for this to work as it is a string that is referring to a database object name which will have been stored in uppercase by default.

How to write data into a file

Hi
I want to write data from a string into a file. I am created a directory and a .doc file . But when i write this data from a string into .doc file , its give an error : File not found exception
But, when i check in my directory, a file is created with blank.
My code is:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.*;
class createFile {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
     String mss = "This is for dedo";
     FileInputStream fis;
     FileOutputStream fos;
File file = new File("C:\\JD\\m4.rtf");
// Create file if it does not exist
boolean success = file.createNewFile();
     success = true;
if (success) {
               System.out.println("suc");
               fis = new FileInputStream(mss);
               System.out.println(fis);
          fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
          int c;
               while ((c = fis.read()) != -1) {
     fos.write(c);

          fos.close();
     System.out.println("created");
// File did not exist and was created
} else {
// File already exists
} catch (IOException e) {
     System.out.println(e);

madhu

InputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(mss.getBytes());Use this to push into the file>
Ummm.... no. InputStreams are for reading, not for writing.
Anyway, OP, you're making a mistake. You're trying to open a stream to a file called "This is for dedo". Use FileOutputStream(File file) constructor or FileOutputStream(String pathToFile). You can then wrap that stream with a PrintWriter or whatever you need.

Insert line break into .txt file

Alright, so I am writing out to a simple .txt file, and I
need to force a line break in it. My immediate thought is to use
"\n" as that is a line break. So, I write it out to the text file,
and instead of a line break, I see the "complex character" symbol
(you know, that square that shows up with unknown characters). I
have tried the various ASCII values to no avail, tried \r, even
tried copy-pasting a line break in from notepad. Nothing seems to
be working for me. How do I do this?
_logFile = "\n";
stream = new FileStream();
stream.open(file,FileMode.WRITE);
stream.writeUTFBytes(_logFile);
stream.close();

in windows use "\r\n"
i.e. _logFile = "\r\n";

Copying console output into *.txt files

Basically, I am having trouble creating *.txt files and copying System.out.println(" data "); into these *.txt files. I've tried FileInputStream and FileOutputStream, but these haven't worked. I've also tried doing this on both Unix and Windows environments.
Can anyone help?

Hi,
If you want to do this from within your program you'll need to redirect the system output:
System.setOut (new PrintStream((OutputStream) new FileOutputStream ("C:/test.txt")));
System.out.println ("test ok");

How can i put a system.out.println into txt file

i want to generate a txt file instead of system.out.println. for the output How can i do that and what code can i use for that??
Edited by: crystalarun on Oct 14, 2007 11:40 AM

System.setOut(out)

}I am pretty sure the layout is good to go, but first and foremost that try statement is hanging me up. Could someone give me some suggestions about how i should set this up.
i want to read in this students.dat file, then output another file called warning.dat.
Thanks i really appreicate the help.

no, i was really hoping to just see if the way it is
set up it will be doable, that way i wouldn't be
working on code that was impossiable to sort through
properlyFair enough.
One thing I'd suggest is that if you're really basically only going to be printing the exceptions, and since that is the top-level method (main) --
I'd instead just add some "throws" clauses to main, get rid of the try/catch stuff, and just let the VM handle the exceptions for you. It will print them, just like you're doing, except that it will also print the stack traces, which you are not doing.
If you're going to handle exceptions, it's better to actually do something about them rather than just print them - otherwise you might just as well let the runtime do that for you.
