Finding value gaps in array

[kahlenberg]

Hi there,

I have an sorted array, in which some elements have increasing values, I want to find gaps between values in that array and I want to create new sub array according to gaps between values.

For example I have this array:

[104,105,106,107,108,154,155,156,157,175,176,180,191,192,193]

Which I want to have is those arrays:

[104,105,106,107,108]

[154,155,156,157]

[175,176]

[180]

[191,192,193]

is there any way to do that?

Thanks.

Hi kahlenberg,

is there any way to do that?

Yes, there is.

You could search for those "gaps" in your array and remember their index values. Then you get subarrays from index1 to index2…

Thanks for quick reply. Yes, my first intention was also so, but I wonder If there is a labview function doing this. It seems there is not 🙂

Hi kahlenberg,

There is a full palette of array functions. There are comparison functions. There are math functions.

So there are a lot of LabVIEW functions allowing you to do what you want to do!

You know this process is called PROGRAMMING!?

To give a hint:

(This is made with LV2009, with more recent versions you can use conditional tunnels…)

Why is there Search1DArray function then, if it can be also programmed by programmer?

I know what Programming is, thanks for teaching me.

I just would like to know whether there is such a function like Search1Darray or not.

If yes, I don't want to invent the wheel again.  If not, I can do it myself.

BTW, Thanks for code.

Regards.

Hi kahlenberg,

you were asking for a function, that should search for some "gaps" and split your array into smaller array parts. No, such a function does NOT exist.

But you can use several other functions to reach your goal. That was what I was teaching you…

And yes, you can even use Search1DArray for your task…
