Description

Starting in LabVIEW 2020 this VI was added to the palettes in String -> Additional String Functions and although the underlying private functionality has been available for over a decade it wasn't exposed to users. The VI attached here is saved back to LabVIEW 8.0 and will be usable in all versions since 8.0.
