how to read all text files in folder

[levin.hua]

Hello, wisdoms! Please kindly give me some advices or hints.

Now, i need read all text files in a folder, but i just find i only can read one selected file one time.

It seems LV can't read files in folder one by one automatically.

Should i use ActiveX or .net??

Hello,

Remember that you are limited only* by your imagination

LabVIEW has a function in the "File function" Palette to list the content of a folder :

So you can use it to get the content of your folder and then use a while loop to read each file :

Of course you can then add improvements to only read text files, etc..

Hope this helps

*: well.. almost..
