DateTime String array in Graph

Greetings.
I tried to plot DateTime string array VS Numbers array with no success in the XY Graph object.
I even converted the DateTime string array to DateTime type using the VI called "Convert_String_to_TimeStamp.vi" with also no success as the X (Time) is just very big numbers and a datetime format.
Please check the attached shot, it will describe the situation clearly.
Thanks in advance

You could read the file line by line and use the scan from sting function to convert to a timestamp.
Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.

String Array Waveform

Hello all,
Anybody ever work with inputting a string to an array, and then having the array into a waveform graph so to display whatever was inputted as a string into the graph. For instance...I want to be able to convert any text into an array, such as names. Then have these converted array names into a waveform graph so to display whatever text was inputted into the string. I am able to get values for the text into arrays, but what comes up on the waveform graphs does not resemble the text I inputted.
Thanks for any help or insight into this.

I think Cory brought up legitimate points and there was no reason to slam his answer. It is unclear to me also how you want to plot text. How are you assigning values to the text? Is it a sum of the ASCII values or something else? How do you want to do the scaling? In any case, since a graph can only plot numerics, the only option I can think of at the moment is to assign an annotation to each point

Problems with string arrays

Previous task was:
Write a class "QuestionAnalyser" which has a method "turnAnswerToScore". This method takes a String parameter and returns an int. The int returned depends upon the parameter:
parameter score
"A" 1
"B" 2
"C" 3
other 0
Alright, here's the recent task:
Write another method "turnAnswersToScore". This method takes an array of Strings as a parameter, works out the numerical score for each array entry, and adds the scores up, returning the total.
That's my code:
class QuestionAnalyser{
public static int Score;
public String[] Answer;
public static void main(String[] args) {}
     public int turnAnswerToScore(String[] Answer)
for (int i = 0; i < Answer.length;i++) {
if (Answer.equals("A")) {
Score = Score + 1; }
else if (Answer[i].equals("B")) {
Score = Score + 2;}
else if (Answer[i].equals("C")) {
Score = Score + 3;}
else {
Score = Score + 0;}
return Score;
this is the error message I get:
The results of trying to compile your submission and run it against a set of test data was as follows:

What went wrong?
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

If I declare int score in the method i get this message

The code looks like this, then
class QuestionAnalyser{

Remove null values from string array

Hi ,
I have a string array in a jsp page which I save some values inside. After I store the values I want to print only those who are not null. How can I do this? Is there a way to delete the null values?

Thank you but because I am new in programming what do you mean to use continue. Can you explain it a little bit further?<%
//go through the array to check all the values
for(int i=0; i<array.length();i++) {
//If array is null, nothing happen
if(array==null){
//leave here blank; instead use continue like:
//this will skip the statements next to it, and increments the value of i in for loop and continues to execute the body of for loop.
//The same will be repeated till the last iteration.
continue;
//If array not null, then print value in a new line
else{
out.print(array+"<br>"); //don't change the logic here

Getting one character at a certain position from a string array

Hi, i'm new at learning java, but have strong experience at C++ and asm. How would i get one character at a certain positon from a string array.
for example:
String Phrases[] = {"To be or not to be, that is the question","The Simpsons","The Mole","Terminator three rise of the machines","The matrix"};
that is my string array above.
lets say i wanted to get the first character from the first element of the array which is "T", how would i get this

ok well that didn't work, but i found getChars function can do what i want. One problem, how do i check the contents of char array defined as char Inchar[];

How to add elements into java string array?

I open a file and want to put the contents in a string array. I tried as below.
String[] names;
s = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("outfile.txt")));
while (s.hasNext()) {
                String item = s.next();
                item.trim();
                email = item;
                names = email;
            }But I know that this is a wrong way of adding elements into my string array names []. How do I do it? Thanks.

Actually you cannot increase the size of a String array. But you can create a temp array with the lengt = lengthofarray+1 and use arraycopy method to copy all elements to new array, then you can assign the value of string at the end of the temp array
I would use this one:
String [] sArray = null;
s = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("outfile.txt")));
while (s.hasNext()) {
    String item = s.next();
    item.trim();
    email = item;
    sArray = addToStringArray(sArray, email);
* Method for increasing the size of a String Array with the given string.
* Given string will be added at the end of the String array.
* @param sArray String array to be increased. If null, an array will be returned with one element: String s
* @param s String to be added to the end of the array. If null, sArray will be returned.(No change)
* @return sArray increased with String s
public String[] addToStringArray (String[] sArray, String s){
     if (sArray == null){
          if (s!= null){
               String[] temp = {s};
               return temp;
          }else{
               return null;
     }else{
          if (s!= null){
               String[] temp = new String[sArray.length+1];
               System.arraycopy(sArray,0,temp,0,sArray.length);
               temp[temp.length-1] = s;
               return temp;
          }else{
               return sArray;

Exporting a String Array to an HTML file

Hey everyone..I'm currently making lots of progress in my project...but right now I've been trying to make a button that exports my search results to an html file...basically what I've made is a search engine to search webcrawler files...
The result list I get (which is actually a string array), I want to export to html so I can open that html file and find all the links that were found in the search I made..What I have so far is this, but it's not working yet, any help? :
    private class exportListener implements ActionListener
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            String[] result = parent.getResult();
            if(result == null)
                return;
            JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
            chooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);
            chooser.setFileFilter(new HtmlFileFilter());
            chooser.setDialogType(JFileChooser.SAVE_DIALOG);
            int returnVal = chooser.showSaveDialog(parent);
            if(returnVal == JFileChooser.CANCEL_OPTION)
                return;
            File fl = chooser.getSelectedFile();
            String path = fl.getPath() + ".html";
            searchIF.exportResultAsHtml(path);
            System.out.println(path);
    private class HtmlFileFilter extends FileFilter
        public String getDescription(){return "Html";}
        public boolean accept(File pathname)
            String name = pathname.getPath();
            //Just checking to see if the filename ends with html.
            if (name.toLowerCase().substring(name.lastIndexOf('.') + 1).equals("html"))
                return true;
            return false;
        }

Actually..nevermind, sorry.

Trying to compare string array using equals not working

Hi,
im prolly being really dumb here, but i am trying to compare 2 string arrays using the following code:
if(array.equals(copymearray))
System.out.println("they match");
else
{System.out.println("dont match");}
the trouble is that even though they do match i keep getting dont match, can anyone tell me why?

try
if (Arrays.equals(array, copymearray))
System.out.println("they match");
else
{System.out.println("dont match");}

Getting lenght of String array

Hi,
How can i find the lenght of a string array, i have used length method to calculate length of single string value,e.g
String value = "test"
int length = value.length()
Now i want to calculate length of a string array.e.g
String csv_values = "test,by,random"
String[] str = csv_values.split(",")
int lenght = str.length()
As you can see i want to calculate total number of entries in an array after i split it dynamically.
Currently it is giving me exception, "Unable to parse exception; Undefined method: length for class: [Ljava.lang.String]"
Thanks

This is a tricky one. An Array has a length property, unlike a String which has a length method.
So...
int length = str.length

String Array Constant Addition

Is there an elegant way of marking the last element in a string array
constant? i.e. I take an Array constant, and add a simple string to it,
so that it becomes a String Array Constant. Now I add elements 1 and 2
and 3. But now I want to take element 3 out. If I just delete Element 3
contents from the string control, that is fine, but the # of Array
elements is still 3. It is just that the 3rd elelment is null. How can I
make the array length 2? Now I know that starting over is one option
(just creat a new array constant, and add the two elements) but what if
my array constant has 100 elements and I want to make it 99. I also
know that programatically I can remove these elelents, but I am taking
about in the programming of th
is constant. I must be over looking
something... Any ideas???

Arrays must be all the same type. If the last element is a constant, all

In a string, yes, Empty strings are essentially nulls.

This is one of my problems. It is easy to size an array up, but hard to size
down.
Of course you can resize at run time but the only way I know to do this
when editing is to start over.

String array into formula node

Hello,
I am taking data from SQL, I am getting multiple rows of data for many different devices. I would like to wire the data into a formula node so I can sepearate and sort via script. However, I am getting an error for "Polymorphic terminal cannot accept this data type". Is there a work around? Can I not wire in a string array to a formula node.

There are lots of basic string VIs that you can use to parse the string and separate out the individual fields. I would recommend "programming" your application using script nodes. Use the native language. LabVIEW is a fully functional and capable programming language.

Large string array in 6.1 is extremely slow

Good day all,
While this is in to tech support at NI, I wanted to see if anyone else has encountered it.
I am upgrading from 6.0.2 to 6.1. Several large (2500 rows by 250 columns or larger) string arrays are used as inputs into subvi's. Under 6.0.2, these functions run in tenths of seconds, while under the converted 6.1 vi's they run in 20 seconds or more!
Tracing back using probes, the problem is occurring at the point of the input. It is appears that the array is taking many seconds to copy from the input to the wire on the diagram.
Array controls generated in 6.1 (not converted from 6.0.2) seem to function just fine. Using a save with options... to convert back to 6.0.2, the vi's again function in tenths of
seconds.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

I hear what you're saying about legacy code...
Something you might want to be looking at for the future is migrating to a structure where the data is stored in a 1D array, where each element is a cluster contain the data that's now in a single row. This would be the most straight-forward change, but could make getting at the data tricky, depending on how you need to be able to search it.
Alternately, you could have a cluster containing arrays of each of the row values.In this structure element 0 of all the arrays is the first "row", element 1 of the arrays is the second "row" and so on. This structure at first blush looks more complicated, but it's really not, plus it would allow you to use any value (or combination of
values) to search for a specific row without a lot of parsing.
If the data that is in the example VIs you posted is typical, either of these changes would be advantagous because it looks like there is a lot of reptative data that might be able to be encoded in an enum. Plus storing numbers as numbers often reduces the memory required and produces a predictable memory footprint (an I32 will always take-up 4 bytes per value regardless of how large of small the number is). My sense is that the variability of the string size is what's killing you.
One thing that would make this sort of dramatic change somewhat easier is that because you are changing the basic datatype of the interface, you aren't going to have to worry about finding all the places the change will effect--the wires will be broken.
If you ever decide to take this on, give a hollar.
