display string lines in LV control and notepad.

[labmaster]

I am embarassed I didn't know about text formating until now.

Nowadays, I am designing some program for other and I got to know UI is one of important thing.

For example, I need to provide them to read data (labview and saved raw data file)

I found some difficulties in formatting text between different environment.

For example, If I set some format in LabVIEW string control, the format was useless in notepad like in attachment.

The attachment shows an example by formatting "tab" because each column has the different meaning.

Ideally,  I need to use "space" for uniform spaced alignment among numbers.

Have you ever met such a trouble? or can you give me some idea?

At this moment, I displayed and saved the data line by line.

Hello, as far as separating the data you may want to sue a comma as the delimiter character.

Per LabVIEW Help,

delimiter is the character or string of characters to use to separate fields in the spreadsheet file. For example, a value of , (comma) specifies a single comma as the delimiter. The default is \t, which specifies a single tab character as the delimiter.

As far as presenting the data, maybe you should have a custom excel report for that where you take care of the formating and presentation, or may even try TDM file formating among others. It gives you a nice user interface.

Hope that helps!!!
