Use the [b]Text Data Import Wizard[/b] 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 [b]text data link object[/b]. You can [b]convert[/b] the data link object into a [b]formula[/b]. Open the context menu (right mouse click) and choose [b]Convert into formula[/b].

The result is a FPScript formula:
[code]
Signal( ReadTextFile(“C:tmptest.txt”, 2, 0, 2, 2, FALSE, _
TYPE_FLOATINGPOINT64, FALSE, ” “, FALSE), _
ReadTextFile(“C:tmptest.txt”, 2, 0, 1, 1, FALSE, _
TYPE_FLOATINGPOINT64, FALSE, ” “, FALSE))
[/code]

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”
