Append a string to a string array.

[labmaster]

I'd like to append one common string to a string array without using FOR loop.

For example, for the array a,b,c.

I want to change to a%, b%, c% without For loop.

Is there any simple method to make it?

Hi labmaster,

the easy method is using the FOR loop...

labmaster,

Any particular reason for wanting to avoid the FOR loop?

[labmaster]

In my bad habit, frequently, I prefered to use some loops (for, while, case, sequence ...).

I think such a loop is not helpful the readability of code.

Hi labmaster,

from a labview programmers view it's a bad habit to stick to text based programming paradigms

I think this code is readable really good:

Gerd solution is the natural way to do things in LabVIEW. Repetitive tasks on an array, element by element, call for a FOR loop.

If you don't want to use LabVIEW, you can do this also with paper, pencil, and an eraser, of course.

Please don't give us silly restrictions like that, but just ask for the best way to do this. Let us decide what we can use or not use. 🙂

(Next time you'll ask us to write labVIEW code while standing on one leg with the right hand tied behind the back or drink a beer while hanging upside down. 😄 Sure, it can be done, but why??? 🐵

Labmaster is right: GerdW code is not much readable to JAVA programmers

Altenbach: if I'm right-handed should I tie left hand behind my back?

Okay, it's only monday...

Ciaaao Graziano, are you there?
Very good news for you: it's tuesday, indeed!

Hi Labmaster,
I suppose, you hoped for a solution that looks similar to the addition of numbers to arrays like in this picture:



But this is not possible in LabView, here the natural way is using the for-loop, as stated by GerdW. But while thinking about it, I found a way to solve the problem witout using a for-loop. And as you can see, this is far less readable than GerdWs solution.



@ Altenbach: I think your answer doesn't help and sounds a bit arrogant. Aren't it the silly questions, that keeps us thinking (e.g. here)

greets, Dave

Ciao Paolo,
   che bello, è martedì!!!!!  Stanotte ho rifletuto, e forse ho una soluzione per il mio pannello, basata sul buon vecchio model-view-controler

   Have a nice day!
