Reading Data From text File

[wowden]

I would like to read data (numbers sepereated by spaces) and write them into an array. This is what i have so far.

Thanks.

Please explain how your textfile looks like (or post it).

It is possible that "Read from Spreadsheet File.vi" is sufficient for your task.....

hope this helps,

This is the file I am currently testing the vi with.

Try using the "Read from Spreadsheet File.vi". The only thing you obviously have to change is the delimiting character, which seems to be a blank. In the default configuration, spreadsheet files use tabs as delimiters....

You've posted into a 2 1/2 year old thread.  You really should start a new thread so that it gets the attention it deserves.  We have a few regex whizzes on the forums who I'm sure can help you figure out how to do it.
