Byte Array To String numbers

[Delphin25]

interesting I wonder if it looks like a negative 48 to the string indicator.

You can right-click the string indicator and uncheck 'Enable Wrapping' for one solution.

Another option I use when getting these 'null-terminated' strings is Search and Replace:

Oh yeh that totally makes sense.

I bet if I get the resize done properly it will display on one line.

ie the pNmae size parameter comes back as 11 though I didnt save that with the default trick you showed my so you couldnt see that.

Must ba a way to link that retval back into the the array or the string.  I know Labview doent want you to resize arrays  but has a way to do it I'll read up on it now.

Ahhhh pName Size

Just add this

kool idea for trimming. thanks

I cant find any enable disable wrapping though? using version 7, may upgrade soon.

Trying to figure out how to add an array length input to the array before I display it?

This will be a sub VI for customer to use so trying to keep it simple and resonablly bulletproof.

The previous contractor made a freaking mess of it.

Array subset> Hey--- Laura F what happened to the insert picture and the whole format bar?????

[Delphin25]

Kool the array subset works nicely.

Still not sure what your first thing was looks like a string function of some kind maybe???

Thanks again this is looking like it will work.

[Delphin25]

Oh I found that its a string subset like the array subset.. Either way I have my solution and I'm off to lunch.

Thanks a million for all the help guys you solved my problem and I learnd a great deal more about array and string manipulation in Labview!!!

Your quite welcome.

It looks like your DLL function is passed a pointer to the array[256] you created and pre-filled with\00's. The function then replaced the values with data leaving the nul charaters at the end.  I bet you could have initialized the array with spaces, 0d32, and used "trim whitespace.vi" to remove the extra characers.
