Hi,

I have a tab delimiter txt file that includes numberic and string data.  How can I use LabView to sort and count the data?

Thank you.

In the Strings palette, there are functions that will convert numbers to strings and strings to numbers.  You can use the Read From Spreadsheet function and get everything as strings.  For the fields that are numbers, use one of the string to number conversion functions.
