boolean to string convertion

[LB8]

HI ,

Is there any way of converting boolean to string or vice versa in labview 8? The source is boolean type and the sink is string type. See the attachment .

Thanks

Can you please specify what exactly the output string should be? Your attached diagra is not clear to me. please give more details that we can help you.
Btw. look at the Strings- Palette, I think there should be what you need.
Greets, Dave

While it is not clear what you actually want to do, I took a wild guess and made a little demo.

There are many other ways to do this. Of course you can freely choose the true and false strings.

Here's another possibility using the "format to string" functionality.



Note that if you don't need to format back to boolean, the code gets much simpler.

Hi
You can use the string palette functions:
'Scan From String', and 'Format Into String'

'Scan From String' interpretates TRUE/FALSE or T/F to boolean

The trick with 'Format Into String' is to wire a boolean, to the
default value input

I imagine this is one of those problems with dozens of solutions.  I would just use a Select.  If you need to go backward, I would use the equate Shoneill described.
