charleskylow Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Hello! I'm a newbie. I'm trying to make a VI that could save information from a cluster of inputs (consisting of strings and numbers) and save the info into a .ini file and after that, allows the user to load the file into the front panel. I have successfully done the saving part this but do not know how to extract the data from the .ini file and display the data back to it's original input panels. For example I have saved a string of ABC and a number of 0.5 into a .ini file, how do I make the VI understand how to read just ABC and display it out into it's original input box. Same thing with the number. How do I make the VI read just the 0.5 value and display it back into it's orignial input box? Can you please recommend a solution to this? Thank you so much. Cheers, Charles Quote Link to comment

Hi Charles. Download the Open G VIs. There is a http://thinkinging.com/2007/03/25/the-openg-vis-that-i-couldnt-live-without/' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">Variant Configuration File VIs package. It reads and writes clusters from\to ini files on disk. Otherwise do a quick search in help on the Config VIs in the File IO palette Quote Link to comment
