"Build Array" and "Transpose 2D array" with a String array, works the same way as with "Array to Matrix.vi" and a "Real 1D Array".

Hi newbee,

first: using a "matrix" in LabVIEW is intended for mathematics operations. So a "matrix" will never work with strings...

But maybe you just need an 2D array of strings?

Or do your strings contain numbers and you need to convert those numbers to DBL representation?

Hint:

Whenever you have specific problems you should attach a VI showing what you have programmed so far AND showing which data you are talking about!

Thanks everyone for their response. And @GerdW yes you are right all I need a 2D array of Strings and I made it using "Reshape Array".

Hi Newbee,

your snippet looks overly complicated to me:
