Overview

Code that shows how to copy data from one array and insert it into another, using Event Structures and Arrays.

 

Description

This code demonstrates how you can use a 2D String Array with an event structure to copy data between two 2D String indicators. When we press the Copy Data button the data in the selected part of the Generated Data array is stored in the shift register. Then when we press the Paste Data button the data is copied from the shift register to the Copied Data indicator.
