reading from a text file directly in to a cluster

[shaicoh]

Is there a way to make labview read a text file as if it was a cluster?

that is for example section->section->section->key

or an entire section at once and put the hierarchy of the section in to a cluster

instead of just 1 section name (in an ini file) and one key.

thanks

If you want to read multiple ini sections at once, just code it all using the lowlevel functions and make a subVI out of it.

Files are not "clusters" and it is not really clear to me what you actually want to do.

What is the structure of your cluster?

How do you want to map sections and keys to cluster elements?

Can you attach a simple VI containing your cluster and a small example text file to make it more clear what you actually want?

If you want to load and save clusters to save clusters to text files, there are a couple of freeware solutions, one from OpenG and one from MGI. Searching here should provide some links.
