LabVIEW
replace numbers in cols while opening more than 1 file
Hi Leco,
Try this at the end instead:
Have posted the snippet above in case you dont have LV2009, will post an updated version of your code below.
Note: you shouldnt normally use the = 0 with doubles but as you are reading from a spreadsheet that have fixed string values of 0 i think that
this should be ok. It worked for the test anyway. Im sure if this is still a problem someone will correct me.

Well, a local variable won't "magically" fix an algorithm error. It can actually make things worse by potentially creating a race condition. 
In your code off to the right you only need one for-loop. You have the basic idea of what you need to do. See attached modification that works on the 2D array after it's been all read in. You could actually place the loop that does the replacing inside the loop that reads each file as well.
Notes:
- DO NOT USE THE EQUAL FUNCTIONS TO COMPARE FLOATING POINT NUMBERS. Otherwise, you owe me a nickel.
- You can use the Read From Spreadsheet File to do the same thing you were doing with reading the file and converting the text.
- I would suggest using a listbox for the file selection - it's more intuitive, and you only need one control instead of 2.
EDIT: Lucither gave you an alternate solution. I had chosen to replace by rows - he did it by element. I was just too lazy this morning to create an optimized program.
Smercurio,
Your absolutely right. Should really practise good habits all the time, wont then bite me in the ass in years to come:
Have altered it. Now uses an 'Approx Equals' vi. Have set this accurate to 3 decimal places.
Will re-post your updated vi with this vi in a folder also.

Lucither
