Hi guys, I have a piece of software that outputs a *.csv file. One column of data is of the form "Wednesday 2nd July 2008 12:05:00" The software has a very basic user interface and I cannot change the time/date stamp. Furthermore, the time/date stamp is only recognised as text after it saves, and not as a stamp that I can change (in Excel for example). I have been trying to write a program that can read this text (date/time) and remove the "Wednesday 2nd July 2008" segment. My thinking was along the lines of.... Read spreadsheet (*.csv file), isolate the column with the text then remove everything before the time, thus cropping the data. At the moment I can read the data into an array (of numbers) or into a table (of numbers), but I cannot disply the text, hence do anything with the text. Can anyone suggest a method of producing the *.csv values but not simply numerically? Thanks EDIT: I just noticed I told the "Read from Spreadsheet" vi to read Double, not String. Problem solved.

Thanks. I'm giving that a try now. Edit: To clarify, I'm trying to list all file names on a front panel window, so that I can select one of the files for the VI to run with.

Hey all...!! I'm still leaning the intricacies of LabVIEW so forgive my Noobishness. I've created a VI that loads a .png file from a directory, then displays the image to scale with associated information. At present I'm having to manually input filenames or browse the directory for the image file. My question: Is there a way of listing all files from a directory (of images), selecting which one to use, so that it loads up. Alternatively can I simply scroll through the files of the directory in a similar fashion? Note: My eventual aim is to analyse spectrum images. Cycling through a list of file names and manually choosing to perform and record calculations for specific files is the goal of my VI. Caius LabVIEW 8.0
