Haha muks- isn't LabVIEW great; it tempts you to overcomplicate things!!

Absolutely...............

Opposite direction can also mean you dont have the required thing to face the complex things

Another way.

Very nice tight code for string literal "TRUE/FALSE" to boolean conversion. Who would've thought of it that a Scan from String function does this instead of the Type Cast function?

Using a Type Cast function with a Boolean constant results in all TRUE or all FALSE

Using a Scan from String with a Boolean Type input results in correct conversion

Anybody who has read the LabVIEW help for FormatIntoString, ScanFromString and TypeCast would have known this difference…

Well, DUH!

But even your answer wasn't the best or tightest code GerdW. Keep reading 'em LV Help files! 😉
