Hello. I have an aquisition file and this remove_headers.vi does not remove all my header. I m attaching the file, the remove_header.vi and the file after removeing header.

Pls help.

Your Remove Headers.vi isn't trying to remove any headers, it is just reading the text file using the Read From Spreadsheet file and then writing it back out again.

Do you know how many lines make up the header?  You need to use a Delete from Array to delete that many rows from the 2-D array before you write it out again.

this is the header should be separeted from data, it has 6 lines.  

I have 100 data file, i need to make arithmetic media from 5 to 5 files. but firstly, i need to remove the headers for all files. 

Headers looks like that: first 6 lines:

Here you go. You should read as string to get the whole header, then delete the first six rows of the array(as previously mentioned). Finally write it back to a new file.

Hi,

For reading multiple txt files you can use a List Folder Function from file I/O palette. Refer the vi attached.
