Create an array and populate programmatically

[Emily101]

I am creating a new VI with an array of strings using VI scripting.  Now, I want to populate that array from a constant array of strings.  What is the best way of doing that?

Below is a screenshot of the code that I have so far.  What I have populates the first element of the array, but I can't figure out how to access the other elements. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Emily

After you put the string in the array (part of the creation), you should just close out that reference.  You should be setting the value of the Array.

Hi Crossrulz

I couldn't understand the solution you mentioned. I have to add values in the higher indices of array (which I create in another VI through VI scripting). For this, I am running a loop to populate an array, but all the values are overwritten on index 0 of array. Screen shot is attached.

If you are populating an array, you need to write the entire array to the array control.  You can't just write a single element with a property node.  So read the current value, change/add whatever values you need to, and then write the new array back into the control.
