Read simulation data file (*.DAT) using spreadsheet (file reading eror - zeros)

[Dennis_Knutson]

Did you pay any attention to the delimiter when you used the Read from Spreadsheet File? The negative numbers have a SINGLE space for the delimiter.

[KONDOH · Accepted solution]

"Fract/Exp String To Number Function " have "use system decimal point " .

If TRUE (default), the decimal separator uses the localized decimal separator.

But, data file uses period to the decimal separator.

Your PC Settings may not be period. Then, you must set the "use system decimal point " to FALSE.

Dear KONDOH,

Thank You for your answers, it was very useful for my first steps to learn working with LabVIEW.

Although I got what I wanted but I still have a question, I think it would be interesting to other NI community:

In last post (Message 7) you show me very sipmle way to read *.DAT file, except some problems. It was realy understandable solution for my LabVIEW skills. 

Maybe here is some wai to read my type *.DAT file with simplest block diagram as shown in  (Message 7)?

Thanks again for perfect answers.

With Respect,

Tomas E.
