2d array to cluster array How do I insert a 2d string array into a cluster array?

[rcard53762]

I have a cluster with 4 string elements 3 are string constants and 1 is a string combo box.

I can save the cluster array to file without any issues. 

Now I want to read the saved file back in the cluster array.

How do I insert a 2d string array into a cluster array?

ofcourse, this is a 1D...you can maipulate to 2D and use a 'for loop' to index individually

2D....

It would be helpfull to have an example of what the actual cluster array look like with typical data. A way to do this is by saving the content of the cluster array as a configuration file (extension .ini) and then use the OpenG Variant Configuration File VIs to save and retrieve data to/from the configuration file. You can get these VIs from the VI Package Manager.

Here is an example. Also attached is the generated config file.

writing the cluster array to config file is working fine .but when i read it,i am getting null string cluster array .

when i check the config file actual data is present,but reading config file giving me an null string.

Make sure that the Section and Key inputs are the proper name.  You can verify that by using the Get Key and Section Names VIs.

You can also wire something to the "default value" which will be the output if it the key does not exist.

Also this Discussion Thread has been marked as solved, therefore you might get a better discussion by starting a new thread specifically regarding your issue with reading the config file.

You need to show us how you are writing the file and how you are reading it back. Please attach some code.

Here,i have attached my code for both writing and reading config file along with written config file.

These are images, not code. Please attach the VIs instead. Thanks.

Did you set the constant labels of the the Account info Cluster to be the same as in the file (Name, Designation, DOB ...)? Also, I don't think you can put a space in a key name (as in EMAIL ID). Replace the space by an underscore (EMAIL_ID)
