2D Array 1 element a double int and the other Date and time for output to file

[rr1024]

Ok I got the date fixed so it will display properly  and with the light bulb and using the probe I figured out that the number to decimal string converter doesn't work in this case but I can't even find where I got the thing from. 

What I need is a floating point to string converter but I can't find were I got that thing from, it would make sense to have it in the string functions

There is a Number to Fractional String function in the Number/String Conversion subpalette within the String palette.

Also, if you kinda know the name of something, press Ctrl+space to open the quick-drop menu.

unfortunately the value I want is in a 1d array to start with so a straight conversion won't work and labview doesn't seem to have anything useful to converst floating point to string much less a floating point in a 1d array to a string which I've been searching for.

Is there no 1d array floating point to floating point string converter

It is called Format Into Sring

much less a floating point in a 1d array to a string which I've been searching for.

No.  But you put the Format Into String into a For Loop.  Auto-index on the input and output tunnels.

This is just not true. The Number to Fractional String function can recieve an array of numbers. There is also another function in the same palette that goes back the other way.

If you need fancy formatting for your string use the Format Into String node, as suggested above, inside a For loop. The Format String for that can be something like "%.2f" if you only want 2 decimal places. Use the Help window and documentation for more options.

Format Into String does not connect to a 1d array with a floating point, sorry to say

Please reread what I said.  You wrap the format into string in a For Loop.  Autoindex in and out of the for loop.

That is frustrating... Same thing, dude. This function as been in this thread from the start.
