How can I read a *.cfg file using CVI

[hahr]

Hello,

I want to open a *.cfg file using cvi. I opened it with Notepad and it looks something like this.

end y-pos

ko
1275684.95765 1275520.49861 1275356.07694 1275191.69269 1275027.34588 1274863.0365

Pecent of Saturation

0.0                     0.0                      0.0                     0.0                     0.0                     0.0

For example, I would like to get a buffer with all values after "ko" tag and in other buffer values afer "Pecent of Saturation"

Is there a function in CVI to do this? I tried with iniFile functions but the file has not "sections". I guess the file uses tab as a column sepatator for each data.

Thanks,

There is no native function that can read this file format: you will need to develop your own function to open and read the file.

You options are to use ANSI C functions (fopen, fgets and so on) or CVI Formatting and I/O Library equivalent (OpenFile, ReadLine/ScanFile and so on). Both options are feasible to read such files.
