text file generation in labview

[Ya-hoo]

Can I generate a text file in labview and it could only be operated in labview. No one can see it and read or write it in case the data lost.

Thanks.

Are you looking for some form of encryption?

If you open a file in LabVIEW, you can set the file locking (optional input: "deny mode") to determine if other applications have simultaneous access to it or not while it is open in LabVIEW. If your OS supports it, you can also set the access right using "access rights.vi".

Maybe I don't understand the second part of the question but if the data is lost, no one can read it anyway or it wouldn't be lost. Right?

Could you explain in a bit more detail what you want to do.

I need this file could only be operated by LabVIEW program rather than anywhere else. Because I want to store some data for labview program and labview can find it at anytime it need.

Do I clarify my question?

Thanks.

Yes, you are right. it wouldn't be lost. And no other application can read or write it while it is open or even not open in labview.

Any solution?

Thanks
