Write characters to file gives a file not found error

It appears that it generates the error at the open file sub vi, but I have no problem with write to spreadsheet file which uses the same sub vi.

LV 2013

Sorry to answer with some questions..
Which version of LV are you using?
Does the file that you attempt to write to, exist? Do you specify a filename in your vi?
Otherwise,(in LV7) you will be prompted for a file. If it does not exist, the subvi will create it. If it exists, it will ask if you want to overwrite it.
Experiment with the "Write Character to File" vi by simply connecting a string to it... and run it.
BTW, your file must be closed when you attempt to write to it, otherwise the error is actually from Windows.
If you want to append to an existing file (add to it without deleting the original contents), then wire a TRUE to "Append to file". Of course, your file path should be filled in with an appropriate path & filename. In t
his case, you will not be prompted for a filename. However, you can experiment without providing (wiring) a path & filename, let LV prompt you.
Try this as a starting point. You should not get an error. If you still do, can you write what the error message is?

  • Quicktime would fail to write/export to server windows share with "Error -43: file not found" errors

    Summary:
    With the combination of Windows 7 and Quicktime 7.x, Quicktime would fail to write/export to server windows share with "Couldn't create output movie storage" and "Error -43: file not found" errors
    Steps to Reproduce:
    Trying to render to Quicktime files using network shared folders as a destination:
    Unable to open file. (-1610153459)
    The funny thing: it only happens when there are at least two shared folders mapped on the workstation, and the destination folder used for the rendered movie is not the first one.
    If we have only two mapped drives, F: and G: for example, and we try to render something to F:, everything works fine and no error is showed. But, when the destination is the G: drive, rendering never works, the error is showed, but a zero-byte file is created in F: (!!). ODD! If we remap F: drive with a different letter, but a letter BEFORE G:, the problem always happens. If we remap drive F: to any letter AFTER G:, making G: the first available network drive, rendering works. Also, simply unmapping F: and leaving G: as the only connected network folder makes render to work.
    We do not have a D: drive in our Windows 7 workstations, they are all C: only.
    It is a 100% reproducible problem. We tried with three different Active Directory networks and workstations. It has all of the features of a software bug.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Cheers!
    Expected Results:
    Error -43: file not found
    Actual Results:
    The workaround seems to be to use the full path to the servers instead of the mapped mount point (ie //server/z/... instead of Z:/...
    Regression:
    All versions of quicktime 7 in combination with windows 7 client and more than one smb share point mapped in a letter.
    Notes:
    All software that uses quicktime movie exports showed this error.

    Not sure what file your are referencing?  Thanks for your suggestion, however, it's not relavant.
    It renders fine if you render to either the UNC path or the first mapped drive.
    i.e. If you have two mapped drives G: and H:
    they both point to \\fileserver\share1\folder
    If you render to H: it will fail, if you render to G: it works!  Same path, same user, same permissions.
    The only difference is H comes after G, so it fails... BUG.  If it was to do with anything else, underscores, permissions etc, it would fail on both.

  • Reading .txt file into char array, file not found error. (Basic IO)

    Iv been having some trouble with reading characters from a text file into a char array. I havnt been learning io for very long but i think im getting the hang of it. Reading and writing raw bytes
    and things like that. But i wanted to try using java.io.FileReader to read characters for a change and im having problems with file not found errors. here is the code.
    try
    File theFile = new File("Mr.DocumentReadMe.txt");
    String path = theFile.getCanonicalPath();
    FileReader readMe = new FileReader(path);
    char buffer[] = new char[(int)theFile.length()];
    int readData = 0;
    while(readData != -1)
    readData = readMe.read(buffer);
    jEditorPane1.setText(String.valueOf(buffer));
    catch(Exception e)
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e,
    "Error!", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
    The error is: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\Kaylan\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Mr.Document\dist\Mr.DocumentReadMe.txt (The system cannot find the file specified)
    The text file is saved in the projects dist folder. I have tried saving it elsewhere and get the same error with a different pathname.
    I can use JFileChooser to get a file and read it into a char array with no problem, why doesnt it work when i specify the path manually in the code?

    Well the file clearly isn't there. Maybe it has a .txt.txt extensionthat Windows is kindly hiding from you - check its Properties.
    But:
    String path = theFile.getCanonicalPath();
    FileReader readMe = new FileReader(path);You don't need all that. Just:
    FileReader readMe = new FileReader(theFile);And:
    char buffer[] = new char[(int)theFile.length()];You don't need a buffer the size of the file, this is bad practice. Use 8192 or whatever.
    while(readData != -1)
    readData = readMe.read(buffer);
    }That doesn't make sense. Read the data into the buffer and repeat until you get EOF? and do nothing with the contents of the buffer? The canonical read loop in Java goes like this:
    while ((count = in.read(buffer)) > 0)
      out.write(buffer, 0, count); // or do something else with buffer[0..count-1].
    jEditorPane1.setText(String.valueOf(buffer));Bzzt. That won't give you the content of 'buffer'. Use new String(buffer, 0, count) at least.

  • "file not found" error in VI Logger when running an imported VI Logger task

    I'm having trouble getting all of my imported tasks to run in VI Logger.
    I'm using VI Logger 2.0, with an SCXI-1100.  The data acquisition tasks I import run fine.  One of the VI Logger tasks I've imported runs OK, but the other one gives an error:
    "Engine Error!
    Error Code = 7
    LabView: File not found.  The file may have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the OS."
    If I create a new VI Logger task, the new task works OK.  And my 1st VI Logger task to be imported works OK.  So I know my setup mostly works.  But our company has never been able to figure out importing tasks very well, so I'm looking for help.
    Question 1: What file is LabView looking for?  I've checked my Export path and database path, and they are identical in both the working task and the non-working task.
    Question 2: Where else might I look for the difference between the 2 VI Logger tasks?  Neither task uses any weird characters in the name, both have analog input channels and calculated channels.  And I've mixed and matched the data acquisition tasks with no change (the good VI Logger task will run with either data task, the bad VI Logger task won't run with either data task), so I'm pretty sure the problem is in the VI Logger task, and not the data task.  I've also tried importing the 2nd task on its own, as a separate import function, but that gave the same error.
    Thanks for the help in advance,
    Jake

    Hi Spex,
    I can import the VI Logger task OK (from another PC running VI Logger 2.0), but I can't run the task.  I've attached the file.  The "1 channel" task runs OK.  The "x-probe" task starts, takes 1 or 2 data points, then hangs for a few seconds, then pops up the "file not found" error. The data acquisition taks run OK, so I don't think they're the problem.
    This file I've attached includes 2 good data tasks ("1 channel" and xprobe"), 1 good VI Logger task ("1 channel"), and my non-working VI Logger task ("x-probe", which works fine on the PC it was exported from).
    I have also tried exporting the non-working VI Logger task on its own, and it still imports OK, but still doesn't run, and gives the same error.
    Thanks,
    Jake

  • File not found error (no error number or file identified)

    Hi,
    I am getting a file not found error when trying to render a project. The message box does not identify which file is not found nor is there an error message number. I by trial and error tracked the file to a video connected to the PAL_Projector Menu. It is the PAL_Projector.m2v file. I reconnected it but it still gives a file not found error on render. Any suggestions and why do we get these ridiculous error messages in this day and age. The message should identify the file and how to fix the problem.
    Regards
    Richard

    gday
    Is the error on the client or server?
    What role in the application does applications-mapping.xml fulfill?
    How are you loading the file in?

  • WVC210 "File Not Found" error in IE9

    When attempting to access a WVC210 camera using IE9, I get a "File Not Found" error. I've updated the firmware on the camera to V1.1.1.15, and have reset the camera to factory defaults.  Under "Downloaded controls" in IE, it indicates that the Linksys210Viewer Control is enabled.  I can assess the camera just fine using Firefox, but not with IE9.

    I have had this exact same error on two different cameras. I installed the upgrade from a Windows 7 machinge on camera A. I can access the camera A from Windows 8 (with full functionality), mac and iPhone. But not Windows 7 (IE9). For camera B, I installed the upgrade using my Windows 8 machine. I can access the web interface for camera B from Windows 7, mac and iPhone, but NOT from the machine I installed from.
    I believe this is a browser issue, and have not completed the troubleshooting. BUT, this should give you enough information to go into your IE9 and determine what may have changed. If you resolve before me, please post.
    Thanks!

    I have created a program which:
    opens a file
    reads the records and massages the records
    writes the records to a new file
    Launches a program that uses the resultant file.
    The program was written on Windows xp MCE using Visual Studio 10. The resulting program works fine.
    I places The executable and the input file onto a flashdrive, and then tested it on other machines.
    Two of the machines are both Win 7 Pro 64bit with .Net 4. On one machine it works great. On the other I get a "File not found" error when starting the second process. This is the failing code:
    The problem is with the Shell command. When I rewrite it as:
    it works on both machines
    So my question is: Why does exactly the same code (The same flashdrive was used on both machines) work on one machine and not the other (when both machenes appear to be at the same level)?
    In both cases I verify the file exists in the correct place before I try to start it.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    The use of F is just an example. I use:
    OutputPath = My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath 'Where app is run from (root)
        'Make sure the path ends in \
        If VB.Right(OutputPath, 1) <> "\" Then
          OutputPath = OutputPath & "\"
        End If
    to get the correct information.
    Then
      PTRName = OutputPath & "myprogram.exe"
    BTW "myprogram.exe" is not the correct name it is just an example.
    Sorry if this caused confusion
    However all of this is not the point. If:
     My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(PTRName)
    is true then the file is in the right place. Therefore:
    Retval = Shell(PTRName,4)
    must also work. However it does not on some machines.
    Is the problem in .Net, VB or VS because it is not in my code. 
    I have also used a routine similar to you (in VB6) to find a particular volume, but used the volume label. That worked better in my case.

  • Most search engines are not working, only Google Search works and I get 404 file not found error when clicking the links.

    I have been trying virus killers, malware software from microsoft, I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it, I used the option to change all my options to the basic default installed options, I am able to search without problems using Internet Explorer on all search engines, Google Search engine works in firefox browser; but all the links give the 404 file not found error. Links from my Gmail account do not work either...giving me the 404 error. Firefox is much faster than Internet explorer however, this link problem makes me wonder if firefox is really any good.

  • File not found error from scheduler

    Hi,
            We have a scheduler file with .cfa extension  in the cf scheduler  which trigger some mails to certain recipients on execution.
    At the bottom option fo the scheduled task, we have checked the option to 'save output to file' and has given the file
    path. On direct execution of the given url, the  file is executed successfully and mails are fired.
    But while trying to execute the same via scheduler it is not firing the mails. On investigation of the output file,
    found the error message 'File not found'.
    Is it possible that the file get  executed when directly browsing the url and shows 'file not found' error
    while executing via cf scheduler?(CF 8 is used.)

    To be more specific,
    the url format given in the cf admin scheduler is like this:
    "http://www.domainname.com/myfolder/myfile.cfa"
    A file path to log the output is also given to publish.
    If we copy the above url to a browser and execute, the file gets executed and mails are fired.
    If we set the interval or run the scheduler from the administrator,mails are not sent.On examination of log file given in the scheduler section, it is
    showing error '/myfolder/myfile.cfa' file not found.

  • File not Found error when synching Ipod

    I have a fairly new Ipod and synced successfully for months, but now iTunes says it cant synch because of a "File not Found error" (no error number or other clues). I'm running the latest iTines and Ipod software, and I've reset USB drivers but still no luck. I cant reset the iPod itself becase I then got a "1418 error", which is why I then reset USB. I'm stuck, has anyone seen this before?
    The Ipod itself plays fine and Itunes recgnises it OK, albeit very slowly, even thought I'm using USB 2.
    One other piece of info; when this first happened, the sync must have first deleted the songs I no longer wanted, prior to unsuccesfully adding new ones. Those old songs show up on the iPod but are skipped when I try to play them.

    Its on the same thread as this one ("connecting iPod nano (second Generation ) to Windows"). Scroll through the authors, you will find it.

  • File not found, Error= –43

    Everytime i try to make a new project logic pro does not accept audiophiles i use from other project-folders (File not found, Error= -43).
    Even with the newest logic-version (10.0.7) and also a new mac book pro (moving via migration assistant) it does not work.

    Hi,
    I have a 'file not found' problem with Logic Express. A while back I transferred all my Logic files to DVD to make room on the hard drive. It took 4 discs, saved alphabetically by song title. Now, I nearly always get the 'file-not'found' error message when I try to work on something. Sometimes when I click 'search' it finds the file, sometimes it doesn't. I'm confident that I didn't delete the files.
    Wondering if 'search' would find the files if I transferred all the files from DVD to a single folder on an external drive. I don't use the 'search manually' option, because I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, or where to look. In the other room, perhaps? 'Computer challenged' is me. Any suggestions?

    first we need to figure out the error. change the web.config so that you can see the error on browser
    1) Obtain the complete call stack instead of the default error page:
    <SafeMode MaxControls="200" CallStack="false"/>
    to
    <SChangeafeMode MaxControls="200" CallStack="true"/>
    2) CustomeErrors mode value (in the system.web section) is set to Off:
    <customErrors mode="On">
    to
    <customErrors mode="Off">
    Change these value in "c:\inetpub\wssroot"  CA dirctory web.config and
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\web.config .
    now again try to do the action. you will get the error on screen.
