File txt to ASCII binary (MATLAB equivalent?)

Hello

I just started using LabView two days ago and need help with which is probably very basic. My goal is to take a .txt file that contains some message (letters, numbers, etc.) and convert it to a stream series of bits. In MATLAB, I would do it like:

Temp = textread ('CommsInput.txt', '%1s', 'spaces', ");    % load the txt file.
text = char (temp);                                                               % Convert character cells
y = zeros (length (text) * 8, 1);                                                % initialization vector o/p
for n = 1:1:length (text)
a = ABS (Text (n));                                                                   % find the number corresponding to each character ASCII
I = 8 *(n-1) + 1;                                                                     % define indexing for output vector
y(i:i+7,1) = (de2bi (a, 8))';                                                      % convert this number to a binary number of 8 bits (ANSII)
end

In the end, it would give me a (8 * N x 1) vector where N is the number of characters in the text file.

From there, I would be able to easily access every bit to create a signal Pulse Position Modulation, I want to use for the laser communication.

If anyone has any advice on how to implement this in LabView 8.2, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

The file extension is not relevant. Each file is ultimately binary. Even text files. If I understand the objective, I believe that one of these two approaches will you need:

It is a text file that contained the text "ABCDEF".

    It is an old relative to corrupted downloads (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Source_file_could_not_be_read) error message, but has become more widespread in Firefox 33.

    To make a long story short... before, if the server sent a response which was smaller than the specified size, the gap has been ignored and the download was considered to be very good. From Firefox 33, a file that is smaller than the specified size is considered as being damaged.

  • File txt else reading machine

    Hi guys,.

    I am facing a problem that you are trying to read a .txt using ODI (11.1.1.7).

    My architecture has 3 servers. First with ODI installed with FDMEE agent, second with Essbase server and third Oracle database

    I have an interface that loads of .txt file which is on another machine (Essbase). When I run the package that contains the interface using the local agent, it runs successfully, but when I run it using my FDMEE agent it omits this file could not be found.

    I use a network path to load the file (such as \\ADDRESS_ESSBASE_MACHINE\... \File.txt).

    What can happen so he can run correctly with the agent local and failure with the FDMEE agent?

    Thank you

    Kind regards.

    Hello

    If you read files from another machine, autonomous agent configuration is recommended.

    If the FDMEE agent is not configured on the computer where the file exists, it cannot read the file.

    you have other ways to do this activity, using ftp or sftp if you have network configurations in place.

    hope that answers your question

  • How to get textFrame contained in the file ".txt"?

    Hi all

    I want to write my text frame content in a ".txt" file Right now, I have my content of PMString text frame.

    And I use regular C++ file manipulation.

    To write to the file, I used it-> "std::string string_name = PMString_name. GetPlatformString(); "

    But it returns me a single line string and writes it to the file...

    for example.

    If PMString is->

    "ABCD".

    EFGHIJK

    LMN.

    then give me platformstring->

    "ABCDEFGHIJKLMN".

    But I need an exact replica of the content of my text frame in my file ".txt", with all line breaks and empty spaces.

    Can anyone please suggest me something?

    PMString::GetPlatformString() works very well.

  • file txt and questions about conspiring field

    Hello everyone, I'm trying to plot a graph xy of a txt file and I am having some problems. I enclose the program and and the txt file, I'm getting, don't forget it's prety base, can someone tell me what is the problem? Also more information on trace would be useful as well, for example I can plot from a machine in time real (I enclose also a file to use for communication with the machine) also is there a way to delete a line that is not in the top of the file? Thanks in advance

    Reading data from the field

    1. your file uses two spaces as the delimited.  Change that to be a tab.

    2. you need to index on COLUM, not the line.

    DAS

    1 write the file inside the loop.  Be sure to open/create the file before the loop and close the file after the loop.  This will allow you to eliminate the shift register and you save a lot of memory.

    2. If you want to plot the data, I recommend using a graph.  In this way, you have just to the wire in the last value once you converted to digital.

  • Save to spreadsheet files *.txt

    Hello.

    I have a program that creates a 2D, measures table.

    Then, I want to give the user an option to save to a file.

    So I chose the VG function "write on the worksheet file.vi"(peut-être que vous pouvez suggérer de faire autrement). "."

    Then, when it runs the dialog box opens to ask where to save the file. Empty file name, and the file type is "all files". What I want is to set the default *.txt file type, if the user do not care about this.

    How can I do?

    Thank you

    The function of file dialog box has an entry called "model (all files). Set this value *.txt.

  • Excel file is not recognized by Matlab

    Where I'm wrong?
    (I have attached my code: it's the creative header Subvi; digital data is added in additional Subvi by using the function 'Write to a spreadsheet file' even)

    Hello Dvorkind,

    I thank very you much for your message on our forum. There is a difference between a file delimited by tabs and an excel file, and I think that it is the source of the problem, that we are facing here. Please consult the following KB .

    Here, they speak the tool report generation (you can try assessment to see if this solution will solve the problem). Alternatively, you can try to Excel by using the possibilities of activeX in Labview.

    I hope this will help you in addition,

    Best regards

  • Editting a file txt game

    I have a problem I can't solve, and I'm sure it's a simple enough solution.
     
    I want to edit text in a game program files, but when I try to do this and save the modified file, I get an error Notepad:
     
    Cannot create the C:\ProgramFiles\Sony\Everquest\maps\discord_2.txt file.
     
    So, I then try to work around that by recording as a file C:\ProgramFiles\Sony\Everquest\maps\discord_3.txt but then I get an error message "save under" as follows:
     
    C:\ProgramFiles\Sony\Everquest\maps\discord_3.txt that you do not have permission to save in this location. Contact the administrator for approval. You want to save in the documents folder instead?
     
    Well, saving them in the Documents folder would do me any good because then the program wouldn't read my additional text.
     
    I've never had a problem when downloading of the txt files on websites like Mapfiend.com that then replace the text file, so why I cannot simply edit a text file?

    I thought I was the administrator of my PC, but clearly not. So I rebooted and hit F8 tried staring at me as administrator but was unable to do. I just got my login: "Martin" as the only choice, no option to change the administrator user.  What I've done wrong? Or better yet, what should I do to recover as an administrator?
     
    I hope hear from you soon. Thank you.

    Hi Mlewk,

    Thanks for posting on the forum of answers.microsoft.com communities.

    It is interesting that you have to edit the documents as suggested.  When referring to the configuration yourself as an administrator, here is a link that will show you how to create or add user rights.

    This is the definition that your account is actually an administrator.

    Another suggestion must also run Notepad as administrator before opening the application and import the text file to make the changes.

    Here's how;  1. click on start ORB / in line search type Notepad / in a list of programs - RIGHT CLICK on Notepad and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR

    Import your text file, you change, make the changes and then save the location you had suggested.

    Let us know how it works for you or if you need further assistance.

    You are approaching this the wrong way.  Create an external table based on the file.  External tables are CSV, fixed width data in a queryable table.

    You will need to create an oracle directory to put the file in (MY_ORA_DIR) I leave it for you to do, and then perform the following...

    create table BASELINE)

    ITEM_ID varchar2 (32)

    )

    EXTERNAL ORGANIZATION

    (

    TYPE ORACLE_LOADER

    THE DEFAULT DIRECTORY MY_ORA_DIR

    ACCESS SETTINGS

    (

    RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE

    LOGFILE "dinput.log".

    BADFILE "dinput.bad."

    NODISCARDFILE

    FIELDS

    (

    ITEM_ID

    )

    )

    LOCATION ("dinput.txt")

    )

    REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED

    /

    All the dubious records appear in dinput.bad. Dinput.log will give you information.

    External tables are read-only, so once you set up your file, you can create editable as a normal table.

    create table ITABLE_EDITABLE as

    Select * from BASELINE

  • dynamically create files (.txt/.doc/.css etc.) and save the table as BLOB without file system reference

    Hi guys,.

    IAM trying to find a plsql/pkg process that creates a file for example myiphones.txt (with content) and save this file as BLOB directly in a table in the DB (not on file system moreove there is no access to the file system) - Ive studied this but nothing about other than as_pdf3 that iam still working on.

    Here are the summarized steps:

    -------------------------------------------

    1. run plsql to create a single file like myiphone.txt,

    2. in this (myiphone.txt) inserts a record content from another table EMP as,

    MYiPhone.txt

    ============

    Greg Taylor,

    Mike Owen

    3 then finally record this (myiphone.txt) in another table MYFILES as BLOB - Note Please that I don't want to not refer to file system manager and I have not access to it for the time being,

    I hope it is clear

    no idea about the way to handle this is appreciated?

    Thank you.

    You can try this:

    Data are from a clob table.

    DECLARE
      L_BLOB BLOB;
      L_CLOB CLOB;
      L_DEST_OFFSET INTEGER := 1;
      L_SRC_OFFSET INTEGER := 1;

      L_WARNING INTEGER;
      L_LENGTH INTEGER;
    BEGIN
    
      -- create new temporary BLOB
      DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY(L_BLOB, FALSE);
    
      --Select CLOB
      SELECT CLOB_VAL INTO L_CLOB FROM MY_TABLE;
    
      -- tranform the input CLOB into a BLOB of the desired charset
      DBMS_LOB.CONVERTTOBLOB( DEST_LOB => L_BLOB,

      );
    
      -- determine length for header
      L_LENGTH := DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(L_BLOB);  
    
      -- Your custom INSERT INTO statement
      INSERT
        INTO MY_TABLE
