Array to Spreadsheet String VI truncating my rows

I'm using Labview 8.0.
In my VI I am feeding the "Array to Spreadsheet String" VI an array of strings that are in the following format.
7/09/2010 7:43:23.27472 95.284953
7/09/2010 7:43:23.27572 95.284953
7/09/2010 7:43:23.27672 95.284953
7/09/2010 7:43:23.27772 95.284953
The first entry is the data, then time, then data.
The problem I am having is that when I pass this array of strings through the "Array to Spreadsheet String" VI it cuts off the entries and I get the following:
07/
07/
07/
07/
The format I feed to the VI is <%s> for string. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Array to spreadsheet string. Empty formatter ignored. BUG

when you want to create an array string that has no seperator you cannot use the Array To spreadsheet string function:
This is a bug in my opinion.

This has been a known issue for a LONG time. Technically, it's not a bug since the behavior of the function is correct based on its design. It uses a default value of a tab if it receives an empty string. It's no different than with VIs having a default value for a control.
I disagree with that. Our own VIs behave like that since we don't know if anything is wired to a terminal or not. But many LV primitives work differently if you wire something or not. Index Array for 2D or higher dimension arrays for instance works differently when wiring a 0 (default value) or leaving the terminal unwired.
So I would expect the primitive to accept an empty string.

Array of Ring to string value for creating a table

I want to convert an array of ring to string and generate a table from it.
But using property node for converting each ring is changing all the value of the table!
each array represents different register!hence required to change for different array!
i am hereby attaching a Vi!

Converting Image to Byte Array and then to String

Hi All...
Can anyone please help me. I have got a problem while converting a Byte array of BufferedImage to String.
This is my code, First i convert a BufferedImage to a byte array using ImageIO.wirte
public String dirName="C:\\image";
ByteArrayOutputStream baos=new ByteArrayOutputStream(1000);
BufferedImage img=ImageIO.read(new File(dirName,"red.jpg"));
ImageIO.write(img, "jpg", baos);
baos.flush();
byte[] resultimage=baos.toByteArray();
baos.close();
Then i tried to convert this byte array to a string
String str=new String(resultimage);
byte[] b=str.getBytes();
This much worked fine. But when i reversed this process to re-create the image from that string. i found the image distroted.
BufferedImage imag=ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(b));
ImageIO.write(imag, "jpg", new File(dirName,"snap.jpg"));
I got this snap.jpg as distroted.
Please help me i have to convert the image to a string and again i have to re-create the image from that string.

To conver the bytearray to string use base64.encoding
String base64String= Base64.encode(baos.toByteArray());
To convert back use Base64.decode;
byte[] bytearray = Base64.decode(base64String);
BufferedImage imag=ImageIO.read(bytearray);

Hola, un string de dos bytes no puede contener un double ya que el dbl es un número de 8 bytes.
Acaso estás recibiendo alguna medicion de un conversor de 16 bits (un instrumento externo, un PIC o algo así)? Si es así el valor correspondiente en la unidad de medición (V, A, RPM...) debe calcularse con
bits recibidos / 65536 * máximo de la medición
Ejemplo: en un voltímetro de 100V / 16 bits, un valor de 8000 (bits) equivale a una medición de 12.207V

Array access notation with strings?

I may be confused, but I thought you could use array access
notation with strings. Can someone tell me why this code doesn't
work (or suggest new code):
the code is meant to rewrite the block of text in tText at a
rate of one character per frame... (when the function is called
once per frame) but it doesn't work.

DZ-015,
> I may be confused, but I thought you could use
> array access notation with strings.
It's made for objects, actually. The array access operator,
[], allows
you to access elements from an Array instance and also lets
you access
properties from any sort of object. The "trick" it provides,
in this latter
case, is that you can refer to these properties -- within the
brackets --
with strings, so it's often used to reference objects
dynamically.
> var sWorkingText:String = tText.text;
Here you've declared a String variable and set it to the
TextField.text
property of some textfield. So far, so good.
> var sNewText:String = oPhotoText[sPageFocus];
Here, you've declared a String variable, but it seems that
you're
setting it to a property of the oPhotoText object. That's now
how this
works.
The array access operator allows you to *use* strings to get
at an
object's properties:
// functionally equivalent
someObject.property1
someObject["property" + 1];
var x:Number = 1;
someObject["property" + x];
Does that help?

Reg: PLS-00418: array bind type must match PL/SQL table row type error

I am trying to access a table of records through JDBC OracleCallableStatement. I am able to do it fine for all mappings except for the ones below
TYPE CAT_CD_TYPE IS TABLE OF A.B %TYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
TYPE ORG_CD_TYPE IS TABLE OF C.D %TYPE INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
Column B is CHAR(1) and Column D is CHAR(2). I am trying to register the out parameters of Oraclecallablestatement as
cstmt.registerIndexTableOutParameter(2, 2000, OracleTypes.CHAR, 0);
cstmt.registerIndexTableOutParameter(3, 2000, OracleTypes.CHAR, 0);
All the other mappings work fine. These two fail with the error
SQLException in invokeDBPackage() : ORA-06550: line 1, column 32:
PLS-00418: array bind type must match PL/SQL table row type

I tried other OracleTypes mappings too but no luck so far.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

How to get String form java JTable row?

                    int row = table.getSelectedRow();
                    String tableUrl = ((String)table.getModel().getValueAt(row, col));

Spreadsheet String To Array DBL Performance Improvement

While developing and profiling a batch data-analysis program, I found that the "Read From Spreadsheet File.vi" function was where the majority ofthe execution time was spent. Digging further, I found the time was spent in the "Spreadsheet String To Array" function. Obviously I cannot look inside this function, but I wondered if I can somehow speed it up. Attached is a Vi that illustrates what I came up with as an alternative.
Basically using "Spreadsheet String To Array" only to split it up to a 2D String Array, and then "Fract/Exp String to Number" to convert the strings to numbers.
It consistently runs in just over 60% of the time of using Spreadsheet String To Array on it's own to do the conversion.
I am curious as to why using the two functions is quicker than just the one on it's own? Perhaps NI can improve the internals a bit? Or perhaps it is not a fair comparison?

Speed Test Spreadsheet String to Array.vi ‏26 KB

Adding a couple of other conversions to test against i noticed that:
1. Scan from string through a double loop was the slowest
2. Scan Value was slightly faster
3. Direct conversion through Spreadsheet to array as in OP
4. 2-step convert through Fract/Exp.
Could it be that Spreadsheet to array uses Scan Value internally?

Spreadsheet string to array slow?

We have an apllication here where we would like to save all our data 120
files with 4M each and then read it back.
I ve changed now to zipped files, but reading from the disk seems not to
be the problem. I used 'profile' to analyze the time consumption. I
think it might be the 'spreadsheet string to array VI' which makes it so
slow, 1 second is a lot to sort 450k numbers. (BTW its a win2000 PC of
this year)
Any hints how to improve it?
Best Regards
Urs Bögli

hi,
I do this small program. Program generate, write and read array with double precision. I generated array with 1.000.000 rows and 10 columns. Read is fast in this program, because file is 'cached' in Windows Virtual Memory.
When you close LabVIEW and try read file with second VI on my PC I need 3 second for this array [on the disk have file 80MB].
It is programs in LabVIEW 7.0

Spreadsheet string to array notation

Hi all,
I am using the spreadsheet string to array function and basically my problem is as follows:
My inputs are in scientific notation so I use this in string format. The data is separated with a ",". What I get is just the argument rounded.
As I just realized I didn´t make myself clear I´ve attached a photo of the problem. Notice that probe 4 is the input from which I want to build the array, and probe 5 is the output. I just have the 9 but what happens with the rest of the number?
PD: I´ve tried many formats but none of them seems to work.
Thank for your help

Your system is set up to use a comma (,) as the decimal point? Try using "%.;%^.3e" for your format. The "%.;" tells the scan to use the period as the decimal point.

Arrays or Spreadsheets? Help with School Excercise

Hello there, my Control Systems Engineering professor will make us a LabView test in a couple of weeks, although he won't actually teach us the software, but rather we need to get our hands dirty. Anyways, I'm trying to resolve this excercise:
Problem Definition.
On a storage area of a container terminal containers are stored temporarily waiting for further transportation. The location of a specific container along with its code is stored in a database. Whenever the operator types in the code of a container, the according location is shown on the screen.
Demands.
- Take as storing area a rectangle of 3 rows of 4 positions horizontal and 2 positions vertical (24 containers).
- Each containers is identified by a unique alphanumerical code of 11 digits. Digit # 11 is the check digit, being the last digit of the sum of the previous 10 digits based upon the ASCII table.
- When filling the database, the user myst apply the code of the container and its location.
- When searching for a container, the operator applies only the code of the container. On the front panel the according location must be displayed by the program.
- If a container is not found it must be reported by means of an error message.
- If an incorrect container code is inserted it must be reported by means of an error message.
What I've done so far:
I've made a UI and code so that I can type a 11 digit string and the VI will indicate me if its a valid code or not, based in the comparison of the 11th digit.
What I need:
Next step, I believe, is that if the code is valid, I should store it in a database along its position. I know that there is a Database toolkit for LabView, but you must agree it is impractical as this is just an excercise. I was thinking about making an array or a spreadsheet, but have no experience with it. Also it seems that arrays work best with For and While Loops, but I might be wrong... and how can the user assign its position?
Well, thanks all in advance for ANY suggestions. Everything is welcome.
Pohl.

Hello,
Take a look at the following link:

Array of Boolean to String

Hello All,
I have a small coding challenge that has been whipping me all day. I have a 19 element boolean array that I would like to convert to a string without delimiters("0000000000000000000"). Within a for loop I use a "Select" followed by a "Number To Decimal String." Once outside the loop then use the "Array To Spreadsheet String" function on the indexed output. I tried using a blank delimiter input on the "Array To Spreadsheet String" function but that reverts back to tabs. Bummer. I'll keep plugging away trying different functions and constructs, but this feels harder than it really should be. Any fresh prespectives would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Zach
