Vi's text file..editing?

[Chris Labview]

Is it possible to display a VI's text file in WORD.. and then edit
and re- save it..
for global VI changes?

Can you provide more information on what you are trying to do? What do you mean by "a VI's text file" -- a text file of data generated by a vi? Or do you mean something akin to the "equavilent line code" of a block diagram? If your looking for line code, it doesn't exist.

Hi Chris,

its possible!!! i am attaching a vi where a 1D string array is written into word file, you can edit it & then read it. But you have to define the writing pattern in the write vi & in same way, you have to change it.

For e.g. here i m storing array with Tab delimeter, so while changing word file manually, i have to add the elements with tab spacing to read the all contents properly.

I have attached 2 Vi to demenstrate the above functionality. Run the write vi first, then add more contents with Tab spacing between each element. Run the read vi to read the contents of word file.

Hope it works. Your feedbacks are welcome.

Best Regards,
Nirmal Sharma

The "equavilent line code" of a block diagram ...

Edit that ..re-save it ...and run the VI..

If I display an HPVEE program as a text file...

Modify the line code in Word (Much quicker that going to the Block
Diagram and making

alot of changes..)...If it's alot of the same changes in a big program
(VI..in our case).. ( > 1MB)..lets say..

Thanks
Chris

There is no text file associated with a LabVIEW program and no way to edit except from LabVIEW itself.
