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”
