Hi sean1985,

here is an example, how you can create an xml string and read from it. I don´t write the string to a file or read from it, but this should be no problem.
Hope it helps.

but my xml is in terms of DBL format...

i have been having problem with the data type of the unflatten.. cos i dunno whether should i used a DBL format or an array format in terms of DBL.

i tried both.. it just dun link up..

why?

Hi sean1985,

i don´t know what you mean, if i change it to double instead of string it works in the same way.

The XML functions that are included with LabVIEW assume that you created the XML file using those functions. LabVIEW uses a specific XML format. If you have a generic XML file you will not be able to use these functions. You will need to use a third-party library, like LabXML or the EasyXML Toolkit.
