Hi! I have a following problem, I've got several files generated in other LabVIEW program that contain measurement values, and I wanted to read them with another vi. However, the values stored in scientific format (%.6e) are not read correctly, only the 1st digit is read. I tried manipulating the formats and several attempts with conversion, but it just won't run properly. The file I was reading looks like that: Angles POW1_M POW2_M TRANS_M POW1_R_M TRANS_NL_M0.000000E+0 1.484676E-3 5.374000E-5 3.619645E-2 2.146400E-5 3.675103E-21.000000E+0 1.350296E-3 4.886000E-5 3.618466E-2 1.953800E-5 3.687208E-22.000000E+0 1.216055E-3 4.350000E-5 3.577140E-2 1.761400E-5 3.659821E-23.000000E+0 1.098281E-3 3.972000E-5 3.616561E-2 1.592600E-5 3.714594E-24.000000E+0 1.016509E-3 3.702000E-5 3.641878E-2 1.475400E-5 3.751459E-25.000000E+0 9.705989E-4 3.540000E-5 3.647233E-2 1.409600E-5 3.763346E-26.000000E+0 9.562259E-4 3.502000E-5 3.662314E-2 1.389000E-5 3.780949E-27.000000E+0 9.722734E-4 3.596000E-5 3.698548E-2 1.412000E-5 3.816057E-28.000000E+0 1.019579E-3 3.798000E-5 3.725069E-2 1.479800E-5 3.836724E-29.000000E+0 1.103583E-3 4.138000E-5 3.749603E-2 1.600200E-5 3.850539E-21.000000E+1 1.215776E-3 4.572000E-5 3.760561E-2 1.761000E-5 3.847515E-21.100000E+1 1.362436E-3 5.162000E-5 3.788802E-2 1.971200E-5 3.859453E-21.200000E+1 1.528492E-3 5.854000E-5 3.829918E-2 2.209200E-5 3.884355E-21.300000E+1 1.739482E-3 6.686000E-5 3.843674E-2 2.511600E-5 3.880018E-21.400000E+1 1.979217E-3 7.584000E-5 3.831819E-2 2.855200E-5 3.851260E-2 Does anybody have an idea what might be wrong, or what to do to fix it?

And what about my format? Try %.;%.6e And remember that is the full format string!

It is more likely that the problem is your regional setting of , vs . in decimal numbers. Try to have the Format like: %.;%.6e

LabVIEW

Solved!
