String to decimal

[SidiqYones]

Hello,

I'm a new to labview, and i'm currently working on a project which consist in retriving data from a microcontroller by RS232

So to summerize my problem : the computer recive data from the µController, as an ascii string, and i would like to convert it into decimal (for instance the computer recive a message as an ascii string :"A"  and i would like to convert that A into it's decimal form which is 65)

note : i already tried to use the String to Byte Array (Programation / String / Path conversion) and it doesn't fit for my work since i need to multiply it by some factors (-1)

TLDR : How to convert an ascii string in a decimal number, preferably into a long 32 bit integer

the string to byte array is the best method.

After that copy this byte data to an array of I32 or I64 and do your calculations.

don't use a typecast but really copy to an array that k=has more bits per element.

like i said i just started, i don't really know when you're talking about a L32 or l64, where can i find these elements ?

I documented a bit about the array, and i find a way to use it thanks for the respond though

Go to the Numeric->Conversion palette.  With these, you can change the data type from a byte array to an I32 array.
