Hii

    I have attached one text file in that i want to catch the .llb files alone. How to get it

Hi LabView5,

read in your text file and do:
- convert to an array of string (each string contains one line of text) using "spreadsheet string to array"
- check each line (in a for loop) for ".llb" using "match pattern"
- when line contains the pattern strip the complete path using "scan string" (or some other string functions like subset)
- convert string to path and add to an array (using a build array & shift register)

Hi LabVIEW5,

read your txt file with LabView using the "Read from text file.vi" and search for your path, then use "Strip Path" to get only the filename.

First how to convert to array of strings

Hi LabVIEW5,

you can use "Spreadsheet String to Array.vi" to get an Array of your data. See the example picture.

Use the right seperator for your file. In my example text file it is "\n" which marks line break.

Hi LabView5,

the "\n" is if you change the string control to Code-View (right click on the control and change to code view). Change the inputs "format string" and "input string". Now it works.

Hi KarthikeyanMathialagan,

transform your data to an array and use the sort array function.
