ScanFile with scanning string modifier %s[in]

For skipping over non-numeric characters by reading ASCII files I used to write, e.g.
ScanFile (fhandle, "%s[i8]>%f", &x);
This method works well with CVI 5.0 to 8.11 but no more with CVI 2009 and 2010. I have modified my old code using other scanning string modifiers:
ScanFile (fhandle, "%s>%s[dt#]%f", &x); or
ScanFile (fhandle, "%s>R1= %f", &x);
The first one does not work with a string like “R1=200”. The second requires the exact string and is more inconvenient. Although the modified code works well now with CVI 2009, I would like to know why the scanning string modifier [in] does not work with CVI 2009 and 2010. Is there something wrong in my code, is it a feature of the new versions of CVI or is it a bug? How about CVI 2013?

Thank you very much for your reply.
I would not use "%s[i8]>%f" to read the number 200 in string "R1=200". I just wanted to take this string as an example to say that I couldn't simply change all of "%s[in]>%f"s in my code to “%s>%s[dt#]%f"s, somewhere I had to use a quite inconvenient "%s>R1= %f". Therefore I do hope that "%s[in]>%f" works by a new version of CVI.
In my code I use a lot of Scan (string, "%s[in]>%f", &x) and all of them work always correctly, also with CVI 2009-2010. But none of ScanFile (fhandle, "%s[in]>%f", &x) works with my CVI 2009, they work only with earlier versions.. That’s very strange to me as I couldn't find in the documentation/Help of CVI 2009-2010 a description that "%s[in]>%f" should not be used with the ScanFile function,
My further tests showed that this problem seems to be related to CVI Run-time. By reading the same ASCII file, the same executable created by CVI 8.11 works with CVI Run-time 8.1 but does not with Run-time versions 9.0 to 10.0.1.419.

Scan String Token Problem with leading Tokens

Hi, I'm using the scan string for token to read in a string of tokens that contain a leading "*" char in front of each string and terminates when the token index = -2. This works great if I have say *12345*1234 and so forth, but if there is bad data, say 1234 without the leading "*" in front, the token index return value is still -1 and it returns data which I read in thinking it found the "*". Maybe I shouldn't use the string for token function since it's probably just designed for ending tokens and not data with leading tokens. Is there a way to make this work properly or should I use another method to search for leading tokens in a string?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Here. Try this one. It does the same thing and uses exposed functions.
The string functions look for something to mark the end of a string. All languages that I know of do this. So, like I said, remove the first element. I recommend the Subarray function with the index set to 1 and length unwired.

Labview novice with a question about scanning strings

Hello, I'm a research assistant tasked with taking data received via TCP-IP and plotting it. I've had a couple of problems, probably because I've never used Labview before.
The data is sent in sets of six values separated using semicolons as delimiters, for example
"0.086842;0.00020341;0.00039838;-0.14057;-0.12614;-0.1327;" is one such data set
Receiving these strings through TCP connection is working just fine, however I just noticed that after passing a string such as my example into a 'Scan String for Tokens' block, the negative signs are dropped from the latter three values. I assumed it has something with setting '-' as an operator, but simply wiring negative sign in as an operator didn't change anything. I know there has to be a way to retain my negative signs, but I can't figure it.

Is this what you need?

Missing HEX characters from scanned string

Hi everyone,
I have a program which scans a continuous string of serial data which is divided into header, data and checksum. I have replaced the serial part of my code with a simple string input to simulate the data input for testing and as in the diagram below you can see 0A, 0C and 0D are missing and I can't figure out why. Currently it is an exercise to parse out all the data I need for a data aquisition system. If anyone can help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it. This was in a different thread but it has dissapeared into the ether. Here is the picture illustrating the problem.
Thanks again

Serial read v1.2.vi ‏85 KB

You are doing all this way too complicated. There is absolutely no need to use "scan from string" to simply chop up a string into parts. Use string subset instead (in a loop).
You also have way too much duplicate code. You can operate on arrays directly and use array indicators for the channels. This reduces the complexity of your diagram 10 fold!!!
I don't have your serial hardware, but attached is a small code fragment (LV 8.0) that seems to do about the same thing with your string using 10% of your code. Modify as needed. Let me know if anything is not clear.

Any additional configuration require to achieve TAF in 11.2.0.4 RAC along with scan listener

Hi
We have 2 node RAC database of version 11.2.0.4 running on Linux platform.
There are 2 SCAN listener running on DB instead of 3 which usually recommenced by oracle.
When one of instance brought down as scheduled activity, sessions which connected to same instance, received ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel.
They were doing some select activity in db.
When user reconnected, it got connected to available instance.
tns entry which users are using (description=(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=p1bds1d4-scan.sldc.sbc.com)(port=1521))(connect_data=(server=dedicated)(service_name=p1bds1d4)))
Do we need to do any additional configuration to achieve TAF in 11.2.0.4 along with SCAN listener.
Do we need to change tns to include clause like "FAILOVER_MODE=(TYPE=SELECT)(METHOD=BASIC)(RETRIES=180)(DELAY=5)" ?
Please help.
Thanks
Ashish

You could enable TAF from the cient side by adding a clause such as that you suggest to your connect strings, but in a GI envirinment you would normally do it by adjusting the way the sevice is registered in the OCR. Run
srvctl modify service -h
and look up the -e and -m switches.

Hi JayJT,
The Miscellaneous is located in the contact list that you used for the connection.
So , you need to edit the page, then edit the contact list that you used, in the web part properties of the contact list, you will find Miscellaneous, then expand it and select ‘Server Render’ .
I hope this helps.

VISA and Scan string for tokens

Hi there,
I am currently developing a piece of software which needs to take in data from an Arduino board via the serial port and parse the input accordingly.
I have the 2 pieces of code working perfectly well separately, but I can not seem to figure out why they are not functioning properly together.
Just now, the input is being retrieved fine and passed into the Scan string for tokens method, but it is not being split on the tokens, it is just outputting the string as a whole.
The input is in the form of 1:0 2:0 3:1 etc. so I am trying to split it on any spaces found. If I attach a string to the Scan strings for tokens it works fine, just not when I am attaching the data from the serial port to it.
Any help would be appreciated.

input manipulation.vi ‏16 KB

Hi,
In the output which you are getting from the serial port, is there space between 1:0 and 2:0 and 3:1? If there is no space between them, then it wont be able to scan for tokens and will output the whole string. I don't have the hardware here and so don't know what exactly is the output which you are receiving. Try to see in the read buffer indicator whether the tokens are seperated by a space or not.
I have attached your vi after adding a small part in it. If the problem is with the spacing then this will work fine for 1:0 2:0 3:1.

Scan string for tokens

Can anyone help me out on how to detect a new line using the scan string for tokens function? I am using the "\n" delimiter but it is not working

Syntyche wrote:
I opened a text file and display it on string indicator. The following is an example of my text file
START
SETMASS 5
WAIT 5s
SETVELOCITY 10
WAIT 3s

So what I want to do is to obtain the string line by line.
I am thinking I can use scan string for tokens with delimeter \n.
So if i put this in while loop, in the first iteration, I would want the ouput to be START
Second iteration: SETMASS 5
Third iteration WAIT 5s. and etc....
In C programming i believe this can be done by using strtok. So i want to have a similar function.
See James' post above, which is what I was hinting at when I said it could be less complicated. And that's why I asked WHAT you were trying to do, instead of HOW. In this latest post, you show WHAT you wanted to do, and doing that in the first place would have made the thread a lot shorter.

"Scan String For Tokens" weird behaviour

I am trying to carry out the simple task of getting a string with
comma delimiters and produce a string_array with the values in between
the commas; this would simplify calling the different parts of the
string.
Example:
INPUT: this,is,an,example
OUTPUT: this|is|an|example (this would be an array of strings)
Using a while loop with the two VI "Scan String For Tokens" and
"Insert to array" should be enough to carry this task. I started
using a FOR loop as the number of tokens I´ll be using is fixed.
However I wanted to make the subVI more general by allowing any
#tokens in the input string and using the token index with a WHILE
loop to do this. The "token index" output from the "Scan String For
Tokens" is said to be use
d in a while loop to process the whole
string.
However,I´m getting -1 as an output even if I´ve got more tokens left
and the while loop therefore exits.
What am I doing wrong?
Should I use -2 as the comparison to decide whether I´m at hte end or
not of the string?
Cheers and TIA

Check the offset for -1, not the token index. (See attached image). If course if this is a multiline string, the you also need /n etc as delimiter.
If the string ends in a delimiter, you need to clip the last array element. I usually use "reshape array" with the output from [n] as input.

Crystal 2011 linking table with a String and a Number

Hello,
I am able to retrieve the data I want with the following SQL Query in SQL: If I try to create it in Crystal 2011 APPLRUNN is a string and CNTBTCH is a number. Is there a way I can link these two fields if one is a string and the other is a number ?
SELECT
ENADV.APPLRUNN, ENPBD.CNTBTCH,
ENPBD.DOCNBR
FROM
ENADV INNER JOIN
ENPBD ON ENADV.APPLRUNN = ENPBD.CNTBTCH
Thanks,
Debbie

Hi Debbie,
You cannot linking table with a string and a number. I have given a example query:
SELECT
ENADV.APPLRUNN, ENPBD.CNTBTCH,
ENPBD.DOCNBR
FROM
ENADV INNER JOIN
ENPBD ON
ENADV.APPLRUNN = ENPBD.APPLRUNN or ENADV.CNTBTCH = ENPBD.CNTBTCH
I modify last sentense because one table primary key is equal to another table Foreign key i.e
one table ID field = another table ID field or one table NAME field = another table Name field.
Please understand my intenction and check linking fields in tables.
Thanks,
DJ

I have run dead smack into this issue using AD also. Is there a solution? I have tried all of the options for the following settings which seem to control the look up process:
<property name="username.attr" value="cn"/>
<property name="user.login.attr" value="sAMAcountName"/>.
For me, this issue rears its ugly head when attempting to add a role to an AD user. I can enter the login name in the find user box, click the find button, and the user is found. I select the user, pick the role, click "Add Member(s)", and then bam "No matching users were found with search string <login user>" message.
Based on my analysis of the problem, my guess would be that the look up process, which works, differs from the role assignment process in source of data and/or the key-field used to find a match.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks In Advance.

Comparing table attribute with a string without compromising performance?

in pl/sql what is the best practice for comparing a varchar2 attribute with a string should be case insensetive, without compromising performance.
I've read on using an index (upper(tbl_attribute)) and then comparing in the where clause using
upper(tbl_attribute) = input_value'
is this the only way?
is there a directive that could make the process faster?
how about reading the table into memory then do the compare using upper in memory would that be faster than reading the table each time we run the comaprison condition?
example:
select name from tblnames
where upper(name) = upper('Joe')
thank you

I would say the ideal case would be to ensure that all the data that is stored in the column is upper case to begin with. To monitor that you could place a constraint on the table like the following:
ALTER TABLE TABLE_X ADD CONSTRAINT UPPER_CONS CHECK (COLUMN_X = UPPER(COLUMN_X));If the code can't be modified to always store the data in upper case you could always create a trigger to force the value to be upper case.
Then your WHERE clause would only have to be like the following:
COLUMN_X = UPPER('JOE')In my opinion storing the data as it should be would be the best performing because it should allow the CBO to have as many access paths as possible. You could then create a regular index on this column if there was truly a need for even better performance.
A function-based index as you suggested is another viable option as well.

The laptop does recognize the printer though and I am able to print wirelessly. All functions work when connected via USB so I believe the printer is fine. I have been working with this problem since I bought the printer in 2007. I spent many hours reading hundreds of internet posts, talking by phone with HP and via e-mail support from HP. I became frustrated and gave up for awhile but now I want to see if there are any new solutions that I don't know about. I downloaded full feature software and drivers for the 6180 from HP and performed various levels of uninstall (L1, L2, L3, L4). I also cleaned the registry with ccleaner, windows disk cleanup and manual registry deletions when allowed per HP. I have checked port settings, tried stopping HP functions is Services.Msc. The Digital monitor is currently running, however no scanner communication-computer to 6180 and no scanner communication 6180 to computer. I can print and fax from computer wirelessly. I have ran the HP diagnostic utility separately and it appears everything is fine, connection IPaddress etc. During install when prompted to run test it says the printer is connected to the network. I have tried to add a device to the network after install and get the message no wireless devices found. The scanner does not appear under Cameras and Scanners in control panel. Nor will it find the scanner when I try to add device. Firewalls and antivirus have been turned off. Still can't make it work. Suggestions please.

Sorry about your pain. L3 uninstall is what I recommend. Re-install from hp.com and this time, with the printer properly attached it should flow OK.

Problem with scanning - printer display shows "Server connection error"

My printer has been working great and I have had no problems with scanning. But two days ago, all of a succen I rec'd message "server connection error". I tried to send to email as well as computer. Got the same message. As usual, I don't recall any action on my part that could have caused this problem. The copying and printing functions work fine. Detailed advice to someone technically challenged will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Ran
into a problem with connecting to the DB on the SQL server from the IPAM server. The Dba and I checked the target SQL instance was enabled TCP and listening on a valid TCP port. SQL server was set to use port 1443 for incoming connections.
IPAM was set by default to use 1433.
Also used
netstat-n to identify issue and verified 1443 on SQL server was
being used. Made the correction under the IPAM provisioning wizard and connected to the database. Fixed.
Important note I was able to connect to the database with a .udlfile
without any issues
Also note that 2012 R2 IPAM only supports 2012 SQL Enterprise. Why?

Problem with scanning in Photoshop CS6 after upgrading to Mountain Lion

After upgrading to latest version of Mountain Lion i've got a problem with scanning directly into Photoshop CS6.
on the previous Lion version when I wanted to scan something, i just opened Photoshop -> File -> Import -> images from device
then a new window opened up the ImageCapture app where I could choose the device I wanted to use, and then I selected the scanner (Canon CanoScan 8400F) and I could scan directly into photoshop.
Now with Mountain Lion when I do the exact same thing, it opens a window, but it's impossible to select any device, as the new window is just a plain white window, with 2 buttons on top to rotate something that isn't there. (text is in dutch, cause I'm from the Netherlands)
hope someone can help me out.
I can scan with the use of the ImageCapture app without problems and then save that picture and open it in Photoshop, but it has worked before, so am I doing something wrong? or is this just a little bug
thnx in advance for the help

I’m having the same problem with my Epson Perfection 3200 Photo scanner and Adobe Photoshop CS6. It does the initial overview scan then I get the same blank window as BigNoud shows above. I've done a Software Update and have also updated OSX to 10.8.1.
I know for the Epson you can get a Mountain Lion compatible scan software from SilverFast for about $35.00 as an upgrade here.
I haven't gone that route yet as I don't want to give up any more money for my Apple/Adobe experience.
Any help would be appreciated.
