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.

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.

Is Scan String for Tokens documented correctly?

I attempted to parse the following string using " as the only delimiter (no operators):
this "is a test" for "you and me"
The first call produced: "this " w/o the quotes.
I expected "is a test" w/o the quotes.
The documentation says the function will return tokens "surrounded by" delimiters. If this is not a bug, I think the documentation should be improved.
W. Brown

Thank you for commenting on the Scan String for Tokens documentation. We will look into this issue and try to make the documentation more clear about how this function works.
We're constantly striving to improve the documentation, so any specific suggestions you have are welcome. In the future, please send any comments on National Instruments documentation to [email protected] so we can address your concerns in a timely matter.

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
END
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.

Hi YungJen Chen,
There is no general username, password and connect string for

First, you install the client tools using the Installer. See also the
Designer Installation Guide, Chapter 1, 'Client Side installation'.
Second, you install the repository into an existing database, using
the Designer Installation Guide, Chapter 2, 'Server-side installation,
migration and upgrade'.
The Installation Guide provides step by step instructions on what
users you need to create for various purposes. Any database users
you may need to use such as System or Sys will use the password
given when you installed the database, or whatever passowrd you
changed it to since.
The Installation Guide is available as part of the download, or from
your Windows Start Menu once the Designer client tools are installed
or from the Designer Documentation page here on OTN.

How to reduce logical count and scan count for a select query

hi,
I have two tables one is master and other is history. i need to combine this two tables into one temporary table.
I am using the below query to create temp table.
Select * into temporders
from
(select * from orders
union
select * from ordershistory) b
where updateon= (select max(updateon)from (select updateon,name,units,subunits from orders
union
select updateon,name,units,subunits from ordershistory) a
where updateon <='11/08/2008 11:18 AM' and a.name=b.name and a.units=b.units and a.subunits=b.subunits group by name,units,subunits)
order by report,subunitsorder
the statistics for this query:
SQL Server parse and compile time:
CPU time = 47 ms, elapsed time = 62 ms.
Table 'Worktable'. Scan count 556, logical reads 1569, physical reads 0, read-ahead reads 0, lob logical reads 0, lob physical reads 0, lob read-ahead reads 0.
Table 'ORDERSHISTORY'. Scan count 116, logical reads 339, physical reads 0, read-ahead reads 0, lob logical reads 0, lob physical reads 0, lob read-ahead reads 0.
Table 'ORDERS'. Scan count 116, logical reads 285, physical reads 0, read-ahead reads 0, lob logical reads 0, lob physical reads 0, lob read-ahead reads 0.
SQL Server Execution Times:
CPU time = 32 ms, elapsed time = 63 ms.
(115 row(s) affected)
you see logical reads and scan count for worktable(temporary) is quite high.
So anyone can give a solution for reduce the scan count and logical reads.
NOTE: name,units, subunits,updateon columns have primarykey

Scan string for "returns"

Hi,
I have a multi lined string and want to put it as list into a listbox (i
did it with a for loop and the "i"attached to the line index of the
"pick line" vi) but now a have let my for loop know how many rounds it
must do! How can scan a multi lined strings for "number of lines"?
Regards Thijs

Thijs,
Use the "Spreadsheet String to Array" function (in string functions). Wire
it as follows:
format string: string constant containing "%s"
spreadsheet string: your string
array type: (empty) array string constant
delimiter: string constant containing enter ("\n" with string in code
display mode)
The output "spreadsheet" is an array with strings that can be wired to the
attribute node of the listbox.
Important notice: \n is not the same as \r ! If your string comes from a
..txt file, this can cause unexpected results!

Wiebe Walstra.

Scan string for computer user name

Good morning NI Forums,
I need direction on a file path scan. I'm trying to get to the user name on any system, primarily XP or 7. I'd like to compare the user name from the "Get System Directory" VI with a constant user name.This way I can pass that to a case structure and close LabVIEW if the computer is logged into the wrong user (there are network read/write permissions which is why I need to control where the program isrun from). Any suggestions for the format string constant or maybe a better mouse trap?
I've attached my VI for reference.
Thanks!

Scanning string for uppercase letters

Hey guys just a simple question that i'm stuck on. im working on a program and i need to scan a string to see if it has uppercase letters. the only thing i know about that even seems helpful is isUppercase but im not sure how i'd use it. i'm basically generating a sentence form categories which are in uppercase and need to expand the sentence as long as there are categories left. id appreciate any help! Thanks!

     String ts = "i Have a capital";
     boolean hc = false;
     for (int i=0; i < ts.length(); i++)
          if (Character.isUpperCase(ts.charAt(i)))
               hc = true;
               break;
     System.out.println(""+hc);

Link to Windows 8.1 Printer (Fax, Copy and Scan) Drivers for OfficeJet 4500 G510n-z

Hello:
Need to know where I can find updated drivers for my OfficeJet 4500 G510n-z printer. I am using Windows 8.1 operating system.
I have tried using the link at HP, but at the point that it supposedly gets to the install window, it asks me to insert the disc that came with the printer. When I do that, I still get an error message saying something like "the link cannot be found." I also get another message at some pont indicating that the full version needs to be uploaded. Then, the same process starts all over again. I should add that the printer disc says that it is compatible with XP, Windows 7 and other earlier versions, but not 8 or 8.1
I have tried this 6 or 7 times with the same result. Dell (the company from which I bought the laptop) was useless and suggested I contact HP.
I can no longer scan, either, because the computer isn't recognzing that the printer has a scan function, so when I go to use PaperPort 12 to scan stuff, it doesn't recognize that a printer is attached.
Any help resolving these problems would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Diffrence in snmp RO and RW string for discovery in Cisci LMS?

i am using cisco LMS 2.6. Is it possible to discover devices through SNMP RW string?
as LMS is not doing so. is is deffendable for me to have two strings RO and RW for discovery
of the devices ?

Hi Pradeep,
RW is generally used, where you want to set certain variables on route remotely.
for example, if you want to reload router/switch remotely, or say you want to logout telent user remotely or say clear the interface stats, etc.
RO will only read the value.
As per your setting RW should work. If it is not working, then there must be some configuration issue. Either on LMS or router.
To start with compare the community string what you have configured on router and what you are using on LMS.

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.
