Load formula node text from file

Status: Declined

Formula node is a great tool for evaluating mathematical formulas and expressions. However right now, you can one time input text into the formula node (during application development) and after compilation, the node does only this one added text and any change would mean a recompilation of the code. It would be absolutely fantastic to dynamically load the node text for example from some file…the node would then have not only a variable input, but also one text input, and the text would bet the formula node text.

It would then be a upgraded sort of a „eval formula node.vi“, which would accept also syntax for while loops, for loops and all the other stuff and not only a regular expression.

So you want to horribly inflate the Runtime Engine with a compiler?  I think a better option for you would be to dynamically call VIs with the formulas you want.
