String to array of strings to path

Hello,
I want to read in a bunch of paths in the form of a long string such as:
C:\Files1;C:\Files2;C:\Files3....
such that when i enter it into labview it will seperate that string at the (, store it in an array of strings, and then allow me to pass it into a while loop. Which vi can best accoplish this?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'd use the Match Pattern vi in the Strings Palette. It allows you to search for a character and then gives you the string before and after the match.
I attatched a vi that you should be able to tweak to get it to do exactly what you want.
Enjoy!

Array of strings in container won't pass to array of strings in LabVIEW cluster

I'm new to TestStand but am a CLD. I've taken a 3-day custom course that covered most of TestStand Core 1 and some of Core 2. I'm using TestStand 2013 and LabVIEW 2013.
I have a VI that needs an input of a cluster containing, in this order:
1D array of strings named Column_Labels
2D array of doubles named Results_Data
1D array of paths named Graphics_File_Paths
1D array of booleans named Pass_Fail
In TestStand I created a custom data type called Maxim_Results from the VI module tab in the sequence. When I reference a local (MINSYS_Reuslts) that is made from this Type I get the following error:
No corresponding subproperty in argument 'Locals.MINSYS_Results' of type 'Maxim_Results' for cluster element 'Maxim_Results.Column_Labels'
If, however, I reference each container element to each cluster element separatley there is no error:
Can anyone help me understand why this is happening?

Hey Kelly,
I just set up the situation you described, and it worked properly for me. However, I did notice that in your example where you referenced each element individually, your Column_Labels element is actually called "Column_Lables". If this was also misspelled in the LabVIEW Cluster Passing setting for the custom type, it would cause the behavior you're seeing. Could this possibly be the case?

Array of string in a shared variable

I am trying to write a 1-D array of strings to a network published shared variable, but it does not seem to write it. On the host, I can read the variable after I write to it, but I can't read it on the remote system (real-time). It is always blank. I checked the System Manager and it also shows the variable to be NULL.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
It sounds like there might be a problem with the way you are publishing your network shared variables. Do you have any other shared variables of a different type that are working?
What machine is hosting the variables? In either case, make sure they are deployed correctly. If the variables are hosted on your PC, check the Variable Manager and ensure that your variable is listed there and is being correctly updated. If it is, ensure your network is not blocking port traffic (turn off any firewalls.) Also ensure the path to the shared variable in real time is pointing to the correct location of the shared variable engine.

Get numerical values from 2D array of string

Hello!
I start by saying that I have a base knowledge of LabView. I'm using LabView 2011. I'm doing some communications test via Can-Bus protocol. As you can see in pictures of the block diagram and of the front panel that I've attached I'm using "Transmit Receive same Port" LabView example. It works very good but I would need to insert the 8 data bytes that I receive from the server in 8 different numerical variables so that I could use them to make some operations. How can I get numerical values from the 2D array of string that I attached?
Every example that you can provide is important!
Thank you very much!

Hi martiflix,
ehm: to unbundle data from a cluster I would use the function Unbundle(ByName)…
When you are new to LabVIEW you should take all the FREE online resources offered by NI on their website!

How do I write an array of strings to a single Excel row?

I'd like to write test data, as an array of strings, to an Excel file. Attached is my attempt to modify one of the Labview 6.1 example files. This modified example will write the data to the correct row, which is determined by serial # of the UUT, but to a new sheet for each unit. I'd like to do the same thing, but to just one sheet. This sheet's data would then be saved after 50 rows of collected test data.
Thank you in advance,

Write Table To XL.vi ‏58 KB

Sorry I didn't get back to faster on this. I've been out of town working and just really haven't had time.
Yes,
The Report Generation toolkit would make this very easy. If you have it, I'd suggest using it.
The image shown below shows the five VIs from the toolkit that I've used to write to Excel.
What this loop does is receive a string through a Queue, either open a
template or open todays file, convert the tab delimited string to an
array, write the array to the next line of the Excel file, Save (with
todays date stamp if opened from the tempate) and close it. It's a good
idea to always save and close teh file after each write if it's not
being continuously written to. In this case, a new line will be written
only once a minute or so. This lessens the chance of losing data if the
machine locks up for some reason. Opening and closing does take time
and can slow down a loop that needs to run at a certain rate. This loop
actually runs in a background process and several other processes send
data to it through the queue to be written. The queue can buffer
several data streams if needed so you won't lose data if it's busy and
you don't have to worry about two processes accessing the Excel sheet
at the same time.

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?

Req help in conversion of string to array of args

Hi,
i need help in converting a string into array of args just like command line args
i have a string s1 = 12 13 56 etc
now i want to copy that into an array a[]
a[0] = 12
a[1] = 13 etc
Thanks for help

U can use String tokenizer.Why prefer that over split?Yah Bobby u can use split too..
J2SE 1.4 added the split() method to simplify the task of breaking a string into substrings, or tokens.
Thanks BigDaddy.. I realized after you told.
try this too..
String str = "Your string";
String[] arr = str.split (" ");
for (int i=0; i < arr.length; i++)
System.out.println (arr);

Can more than one delimiter be use at the same time for spreadsheet string to array

I have a text header in my data file that is space delimited and the data in the file is tab delimited? Any suggestion?

Sorry, I misread your problem...
Is the header always of a fixed length in terms of the number of lines? Or can you easily find out from the file how long the header is? If so, you could first read just the header and, instead of using spreadsheet to array function, you could parse the header yourself by using the match string function in a While loop with the search value:
[\s\t]+
Assuming slash codes are enabled, this string will match any string of one or more spaces or tabs.
You could then read the rest of the file and format it using spreadsheet to array with the tab delimiter (that is constant, correct?).
If you need help with that parsing loop let me know and I'll write one for you...

How to search for particular string in array?

I am struggling to figure out how to search array contents for a string and then delete the entry from the array if it is found.
The code for a program that allows the user to enter up to 20 inventory items (tools) is posted below; I apologize in advance for it as I am also not having much success grasping the concept of OOP and I am certain it is does not conform although it all compiles.
Anyway, if you can provide some assistance as to how to go about searching the array I would be most grateful. Many thanks in advance..

Ok, so you have an array of Strings. And if the string you are searching for is in the array, you need to remove it from the array.
Is that right?
Can you use an ArrayList<String> instead of a String[ ]?
To find it, you would just do:
for (String item : myArray){
   if (item.equals(searchString){
      // remove the element. Not trivial for arrays, very easy for ArrayList
}Heck, with an arraylist you might be able to do the following:
arrayList.remove(arrayList.indexOf(searchString));[edit]
the above assumes you are using 1.5
uses generics and for each loop
[edit2]
and kinda won't work it you have to use an array since you will need the array index to be able to remove it. See the previous post for that, then set the value in that array index to null.

I need to sort an array of strings based on the number in each string.

Basically, I have a directory of files that all have the same name but each with a different number on the end.
example: image 1.jpg, image 2.jpg, etc.
When I use the List Directory function that returns an array of strings containing the file names in the directory, they don't come out in a 1, 2, 3, order like they appear in the directory. It sorts them character by character so that they come out like: 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 2, 20, 21, 22 etc.
Is there a simple way of sorting this array of strings with the file names (as above) so that they are in numerical order?

It's a while since this thread was started, but I am sure others will have use for this so here goes:
The in-built array sort function sorts the strings the same way DOS and Windows do. Microsoft has fixed this in the Explorer that comes with XP, however the rest of the OS(s) still sorts the old way.
The attached "AlphaLogical String Array Sort" VIs will sort strings arrays the same way as the new XP Explorer. There are three different implementations of the sorting, one based on the Insertion sort algorithm, a Quick Sort based on recursive calls (the most elegant way, but unfortunately LabVIEW has too much overhead when doing recursive calls so this is actually a very slow alternative) and finally the fastest; a stack based Quick Sort. There is also a test VI that will show you how the different implementations perform.
I had not used recursive calls in LV much until I made the attached quick sort and was a bit disappointed by the fact that it is so slow, but it's a good learning example...The ability to do recursive calls this way was introduced in LV7 I believe...There is an example here on the zone that shows how you can calulate a factorial by using recursive calls, however - unlike for the quick sort (normally) - recursive calls are actually not the optimal solution for that calculation.

Problem in converting vector to array of strings

hi
i am having a vector which in turn contains hashtable as elements
Vector v=new Vector()
Hashtable ht=new Hashtable();
v.add(ht.add("key1",value1))
v.add(ht.add("key2",value2))
v.add(ht.add("key3",value3))
v.add(ht.add("key4",value4))now i am trying to conver this vector in to a array of string like
String[] str=(String[])v.toArray(new String[v.size()]);but i am getting java.lang.ArrayStoreExceptioncan anybody help me plz
Thanks

Hi,
The api for public Object[] toArray(Object[] a) says
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this Vector in the correct order; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array.
ArrayStoreException will be thrown if the runtime type of a is not a supertype of the runtime type of every element in this Vector.
The runtime type of the elements of the vector is Hashtable.
Because String is not a supertype of Hashtable the ArrayStoreException is thrown.

[CS3][JS] How to turn negative number in array into string

Hello,
I have a script that compares the array of the geometric bounds of all text frames to the margins for a document (all pages having the same margins). Any frames that do not match the margins are flagged.
In order to compare the array of text frame geometric bounds to two arrays of margins (because they are facing pages), I have to convert the numbers to strings.
My problem is that in the following snippet of code that creates the two margin arrays, the negative of the variables become numbers again. This would not be too difficult to solve except that all the numbers have to be 4 decimal points before converted to strings.
Thanks,
Tom

var marginsRHand = [marginY1, marginX1, marginY2, marginX2];
var marginsLHand = [marginY1, -marginX2, marginY2, -marginX1];

Well, I think I have solved it. But I don't know why this solves it.
I would think that in the above script all the variables would be numbers and not strings. But the data browser says they are strings.
The solution is:
var marginsLHand = [marginY1, Number(-marginX2).toFixed(4), marginY2, Number(-marginX1).toFixed(4)]
If someone can explain why now all variables in the arrays are strings and not numbers, I'll be happy.

Mapping lookup up failure with input JavaBean with an array of strings

To receive input data our Web service defines a JavaBean one element of which is
an array of strings. When a test Java client calls the service method the call
is completed successfully. When a Perl client calls the service method an exception
is returned. If I understand BEA's Web service documentation, it isn't necessary
to do development for the service specifically to enable correct processing of
an array of strings.
In our environment we are running WL 8.1 SP 1.
Please review the problem documentation and explain to me the cause of the exception
and what I must do to prevent it.
Thank you.

Hi Jeff,
Looks like the Perl client is using an older (deprecated) schema
namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema" that is causing this
failure.
Hope this helps,
Bruce

Array of Strings?

How can I make an array of strings?

or, depending on what the heck you're talkingabout
That's bad advice now that Java is in version 5.
The standard loop is the for-each loop. If you don't
use it you're going down in complexity which is a
very bad thing according to the "premature
optimization is evil" bunch. So use for-each if you
don't want to be accused of "premature optimization"
by jverd and yawmark and other prominent members of
that bunch.Thanks for your advice. I use version 1.4.2. I did not intend to give bad advice. My post was targeted at someone who obviously did not understand "nuts and bolts" of java. It was not intended to be a lesson about "good design" or "real life applications" or "standard for loops in version 1.5". I gave an example that i feel is both adequate and appropriate for the target audience. It's intended purpose was to demonstrate very simple and basic concepts to someone who asked a seemingly simple and basic question that could possibly irritate a seasoned programmer like yourself. I have read your helpful posts in this thread and would welcome comments from yawmark and jverd also. I am sure they would be helpful to others who would read this thread in the future but their level of experience (along with Mr Warnerja) would perhaps be lost and uncomprehended by the OP. If in the context of the original question, you believe that my posts and simple examples are inappropriate, then would you kindly explain in terms that the OP can understand? Also explain (in this context) how my posts were wrong and meaningless.
respectfully yours,
Arbie
