Convert a notepad file to array

Hi,

 

I would like to make a program that can read a Notepad file that I would make. The file consists of 2 colums, 1 column represents the temperature and the other the time.

The program has to read the file and make 2 different arrays, 1 of the temp and 1 of the time.

Does anyone know how I can make this easily??

 

Thanks!

Use Read from Spreadsheet File.vi from the file palette.  This will give you a 2D array of your data.  Use the Index Array primitive from the array palette to split the two columns.

If you save the file as a plain text file, then Read From Spreadsheet File.vi should do what you want.

Use the Index Array function to pull each column out of the 2-D array.

Use the "all rows" output.  That is a 2D array.  Then use the Index Array to get the two columns.
