Method: GetStringBlock for File
Reads a text file and returns the channel values contained in the file.
 | Note The file pointer of the text file does not move when a StringBlock is read. |
Set oStringBlock = Object.GetStringBlock
| Object | File Object with this method |
| oStringBlock | StringBlock Returned object |
The following example reads a text file that consists of one time channel and one real channel. The example then generates a channel group and inserts the two channels:
Dim oBlock : Set oBlock = File.GetStringBlock() Dim oChn1 : Set oChn1 = oBlock.Channels.Add("Time", eTime) Dim oChn2 : Set oChn2 = oBlock.Channels.Add("YShift", eR64) Dim oMyGrp : Set oMyGrp = Root.ChannelGroups.Add("MyChannelGroup") Call oMyGrp.Channels.AddDirectAccessChannel(oChn1) Call oMyGrp.Channels.AddDirectAccessChannel(oChn2)
