Labview not reading csv file properly.

[zou]

It's actually 1.732 if you open the file in Excel.

See attached VI.

It uses Read Write ASCII-Unicode Text File.vi from the link you gave.

Didn't seem to work.

EDIT: Nevermind, I accidentally grabbed the csv file I had already converted back to ASCII.

[zou]

It's for your original unicode csv file, not for the ASCII version.

[dhibbit]

Yeah, I fixed it.

Thanks for all the help!

This does not correctly deal with the unicode but will extract the data from this particular file.

It reads the file as binary, removes the first 2 characters (which happen to be the only characters in the fole with values > x7F), then decimates the array. The decimation creates two arrays. One has standard ASCII characters adn the other has all the nulls. Convert the one with ASCII to a string and then to array. Since both string and numeric values are present, it converts both.
