How do i convert a double value (orange cable) to a value i can save to a text file or a *.xml file?

[milo_unlimited]

I have a couple of values (results from a calculation  from a measurement) i want to save to a external file for later use. I also want to add more data to the file eventually. can somebody help me?

Hi milo_unli...,

you can convert it to a string and write it to the file. If you have an array, then you can use the "Write to Spreadsheet file" function.

I dont know how to do that. I've taught myself how to work labview only a week ago. i attached a portion of my abominable creation.

The array of clusters needs to be saved in a file...

thnx

Hi milo_unli...,

which of them do you want to write to the file?

I recommend to see also the Free LabVIEW Courses.

i need both orange cables saved to a file

Hi milo_unli...,

did you try it with the "write to spreadsheet file" function? First you can build one array from them and then you can connect it directly to this function.

There is no need to convert the double to anything.  If you have an array of doubles, you can wire it up directly to a Write to Spreadsheet File.vi.

See attached example.  Run it, select where you want to save it (with filename) and then have a look at the content of the file.

Then adjust the example to your needs.  If a single number (not an array), there are other tricks, but for now, you could convert it to a 1D array.

Thank you, it worked to some extent. I was able to finaly put both cables into one textfile and save the file, but i was not able to do it in one go (see attached pic)

Can somebody tell me how to combine the two orange wires (see file) into one string so I can add them both in one line in a text file?

Hi milo_unli...,

use the "build array" function. You will find it in the array palette. If you right click on it, you will find additional capabilities.
