Write .WAV File Data to a .txt File with Header Information using LabVIEW

[Travis-E]

Overview

Given a valid file path to a .wav file, this code is an example of how to read sound data and write it to a text file. This example will also include information about the wave read as a header in the text file.

Description

The VI operates by first opening the sound file to be read using the specified path. The sound file is read and output as Waveform data. Information about the sound itself is extracted from the .wav file, which is then closed. After that, the Y components of all the Waveform samples are unbundled, and sound information is converted into a string. The final step is to write sound information to the output file specified by the output file path and append the Y component array to the output file.

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Enter a valid path to the .wav file you would like to read in the Input .wav File Path section.
2.  Enter a path to the output text file you would like to write to. If the file does not exist it will be created and if it does exist it will be overwritten.
3. Run the example.

Requirements

•  LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

thanks for the info.is there any way to remove header information from a file and then save it as text
