edit ini files in CVI

[ElbaTech]

Hello,
when I try to edit a ".ini" text file in the LabWindows/CVI editor (File->Open->Text(*.ini) etc.) I get the error: "Cannot open binary files as text files", although the file I try to open is indeed a text file editable with Notepad. How can I inform the CVI editor that it is NOT a binary file ?
Thanks a lot,
Marco

Just a guess, but this is probably because the text file is encoded using Unicode, which nopepad understands but CVI does not. Load the file in notepad and try to 'Save As...' and select ANSI encoding.

Hope this helps,
