hello gerd,

  i couldnt open the Vi. my version of labview is 7.0 and iam using win xp.

Hello renault,

saved as LV7.0 🙂

Thanks very much gerd .it is running well.

But i couldnot get away from the doubts here .

In finding out a character

1. the statement always executes false  and always returns char to replace field as dot and new char/dec  char field  as comma.

2.  when i read a data file  with a dot separator, after the execution of the replace function it changes to comma separated string.

so in either case it is giving out a comma separator.

3. does this program in general work for the windows with  dot separator.?

 thanks in advance gerd.

Hello renault,

it should work... But maybe you try this changed version?

Edited: Please change the constant (both string/numeric) to 1.5!

sorry gerd, it still remains the same .  true statement never executes.

should i uncheck the local system decimal point in tool options of front panel?

The first condition in GerdW's VI can be true only when the OS decimal separator is a dot, like (natively) under English Windows, or German Windows with modified regional settings.
It does not depend on the file content.
At this point, I got enough confused about what you want to do: isn't it to read numbers from a given ASCII file irrespectively of the OS settings?
If this is your aim, GerdW's VI is what you need.

hello paolo and Gerd,

 irrespective of the operator settings, i need a program which reads the data and replaces with my customized decimal separtor and prints in a string format.

anyway i will try to check the program with an english version too.

great thanks for the effort you have made.

Hello renault,

I thinks that's what we have done...
First we load the data independently from the system decimal setting. Then you can save them with your selected decimal point (the part with format strings "%.;" and "%,;").
What else do you want?

thanks Gerd , i just got the trick understood clearly of finding the characters . great effort . thanks once again
