FlattenToXML: Coma (,) under WinXP but dots (.) under Win2000 ??

[Taucher]

I use FlattenToXML and UnflattenFromXML vis to save clusters of data in a file. With the same executable ,under Win2000 these files
contain dots (.) for decimal points, under XP comata (,). How do I prevent this?

Thanks,
Marco

Hi Marco

I think you might need to check the "Decimal symbol" set up in the number section of the regional options settings in Windows XP.

Thanks Neil,

I checked my regional settings but found out that both PCs are configured the same way.
Even if I exchange the commas with dots (manuall in the xml-file) UnflattenFromXML generates Error 1108.

But still, loads of thanks for your help.

Hello,

do you have the same Run Times on both systems? The same language?

On this link you can download the English Version:
ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/labview/runtime/windows/7.1/

On this link you can download the German Version:
ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/labview/runtime/windows/7.1/German/

Thanks Markus,

but I've got the same runtime engine installed on both systems.
I developed and build (application builder) the executable and the installation software on my PC, which has Win2000 installed.
Then I took the installation software to the customers PC (WinXP) and installed it.
As I wanted to analyze his files (xml) on my PC, I got the error code 1108 on the vi "UnflattenFromXML".
I noticed that the numbers on the XP have commas, but on mine (Win2000) have dots as decimal point ...

Still no solution but I appreciate your help a lot!

Hello,

which LV-Version and which Runtime-version do you use?
Can you post your code in a reduced form and your exe?
So i can test the error.

Good morning Markus,

this is what happend: I wrote a small application to demonstrate you how WinXP and Win2000 save xml-files different.
So I ran it on both PCs and suddenly found out that they are both saving xml-files with commas.

If I run my vi directly under Labview 6.1 it saves xml-files with dots (12.2833), where as if I build an
application out of the same vi the executable saves xml-files with commas(12,2833).

So if I try to load my customers data (generated with an executable) and load it in my vi error 1108 occurs.

I'm glad I found out about this (thanks to your help!) but still don't now a way arround it.
Do you know about a setting in Labview 6.1 wich allows you to select the decimal point?

Thanks a lot!
Marco

Hello,

in LV6.1 you have to check the settings in "Werkzeuge->Optionen->Frontpanel->Lokalen Dezimalpunkt verwenden".
If you turn on this field, you use the settings of your system.

Hi Markus,

found out how to do the settings... everything works fine now.
Thanks a lot, hope I can offer you some help sometime as well.
