text file numerical data in columns (spaces between colums) to graph after averaging each 500 columns values.please help.

[Mahisnair]

i have a text file with numerical data in three columns,(first i need to skip the few lines of text within the file above the three column of data values)then i need to convert the numerical values above "-999" to zero,then take the average of each 500 values in the first column (second and third colum needs the same operation separately),thus found average values are to be stored into a text file and finally plotted in a graph separately. Please help.Its apart of my project work.

and you want that someone does the job for you ?

What is exactly your problem ? Begin by reading the file.

What you want to do is verry easy. Post your code, whith an exact problem.

thanks for the reply, am really new to labview..only a few days now..i am suppose to do this much of work by this friday..am trying but even to successfully 'plot numerical data (multiple columns) from a text file, to a chart' seems hard to code without errors..:-(

Project complete, almost anyway.

If you are planning to submit this, you better understand how it works. Also, if you have saved some time because of this consider giving that time to a charity of choice!

" i am attaching the code tht i hv done so far, its for reading and plotting the numerical data from text, but its not working 😞 "

Hi Mahisnair,

you may try that one:

Remember: it's never a good idea to include multiple spaces for better looking text files 😉

Another version, just drag and drop:
