The are very many ways to do this in LabVIEW, so for a more specific answer, we'll need a better description of exactly what you are looking to do. Much of the semantics really depend on how that data is formatted in the text file because this dictates how you will need to convert it from text to numbers in LabVIEW. At any rate, the easiest thing to do would be to simply put the data in the text file into tab-delimited spreadsheet format, which would save you from having to convert the data at all. A tab-delimited spreadsheet is just a text file in which column data is separated by tabs and row data is separated by carraige returns, and this file type can be opened up in Excel, too. If you went this route, then all that you would need to do in LabVIEW is read the text file in, insert tabs and carraige returns in the resulting string to separate the data, and then write it back to a text file.
