    Use the Text Data Import Wizard to import your file.
    1)Choose
    – Create links
    – Import as signals
    2) Method: Automatic
    3) Several columns, seperated with TAB; Decimal Character: Point
    4) Line with names: 1; Column with X-values: 1

    The result is a text data link object. You can convert the data link object into a formula. Open the context menu (right mouse click) and choose Convert into formula.

    The result is a FPScript formula:

    
Signal( ReadTextFile("C:\tmp\test.txt", 2, 0, 2, 2, FALSE, _
TYPE_FLOATINGPOINT64, FALSE, " 	", FALSE), _
ReadTextFile("C:\tmp\test.txt", 2, 0, 1, 1, FALSE, _ 
TYPE_FLOATINGPOINT64, FALSE, " 	", FALSE))

    The result is a FPScript formula:

    Signal( ReadTextFile(“C:\tmp\test.txt”, 2, 0, 2, 2, FALSE, _TYPE_FLOATINGPOINT64, FALSE, ” “, FALSE), _ReadTextFile(“C:\tmp\test.txt”, 2, 0, 1, 1, FALSE, _ TYPE_FLOATINGPOINT64, FALSE, ” “, FALSE))

    I tried this with Flexpro 7.0 but it doesn’t work. Do I have to change the code?

    Thanks

    You have to enter two backslashes for the string with the path of the text file.

    Example:
    “c:\\temp\\test.txt”
