2D Array to String Conversion

[russelldav]

Hi, I am having some trouble converting my 2D array into string data. I tried casting but 2D arrays seem incompatible with String data.

The attached is how I currently do this with 1D arrays and it works well. Any ideas for doing the same with a 2D array would be appreciated. Is there a quick way to do this without having to take a subset of my array?

You can reshape a 2D array into a 1D array. Look at the Reshape Array function on the Array palette.

Have you tried the following?

Thanks guys!

I reshaped it and it works perfectly! Thanks so much.

P.S Next time can you be a bit quicker with your responses? I almost had to wait a minute before I had the answer I needed

Hi

I am having a similar problem, i have to read the dat from excel (for ex,it has some 40 rows and 3 coulmns) and need to convert it to string.

I tried as in the attached figure, in the dimension size of the reshape array what value i need to enter (either the coulmn or row)

Thanks

Hi Veeru,

you can simply select "string" instead of "double". It is a polymorphic vi.
And after that you can use the "Concatenate String" function or you read it as a "normal" textfile.

Hope it helps.

What ihave to do if i need to read only the 2nd column value(40*3 Array)

Hi Veeru,

use the "index array" function, use then number to string.
