Format Into String like Formula Node

[FJR0]

Format Into String can become very complicated when you have multiple inputs. I think implementing it in a way similar to the Formula Node could make it much better.

Ideally,

1. naming of the inputs should be allowed
2. the input fields in the string should be color highlighted
3. when hovering or clicking over any of the input or the format string fields, the matching ones should be highlighted in bold or with different background for example.

As a side note, the Formula Node itself could also benefit from the same color and hover highlighting.

Maybe it is already evident, but Scan From String could also have the same format, with one input and multiple outputs.

+1. I agree that the "Format Into String" function should be made easier to use.

C# has a feature known as "string interpolation" that makes it easy and natural to format strings. The formatted strings are very legible, as seen in the screenshot below (taken from this Microsoft webpage). This feature was added to C# in version 6.0, which was released in July 2015.

It would be great if LabVIEW supported a similar string interpolation syntax.
