read text files

[Theopolis]

Hello All,

I created a vi that will read text files from a specific path and display this data onto a wavechart. I was wondering is it possible to have my vi read specific lines from this text file instead of the whole text file? For example, if I wanted my vi to read only lines 27-31 from the text file and string this data onto a wavechart is it possible to do so? Thanks in advance

Not really...

Just read it all into an array and use the array tools to select the lines you want from the array.

Thanks are given with Kudos and marking solutions.

Also if you want to read a file one line at a time you can right click the Read from Text File and select Read Lines.  You can read lines 23 by ignoring the first 22 lines.

I've gotten to that part, but then what if I don't want to read the lines after 26? What if I wanted to only read lines 23 - 26?

Then don't read it.

Hooovahh, no need for the loops...

That possibly explains it for me.
