copy to clipboard doesn't work

[juanni]

I am trying to use jim Kring's vi (see http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=283524&query.id=10185#M283524)

to copy 2d arrays to the clipboard.  However, this only seems to work reliably for small arrays.  I want to work with waveform data (I convert the waveform to a 2d array first), with up to 5000 points.  Obvoiusly, cutting and pasting data of this quantity is no problem in excel, but I am unable to get large quantities of data from the labview array.  I'm using labview 8.2 on a windows xp machine with 488 megs of ram and a 2 GHz processor.  Help, anyone?  Jonathan

Jonathan,

I use Arnold Bartel's "Copy Text to Clipboard.vi" and it works great.  You will need to use "Array to Spreadsheet String.vi" first to convert your array data to text and then pass it to this vi.

Here is the link to the code.

Thanks a ton.  It works perfectly for me as well.  Jonathan

Even simpler : In LV 8, there is an Application Copy (and read) to Clipboard property.
