Format Hex String

[mnanda98]

Hi

This is a really easy question but I want final string to have only the first two digits (cut off all the 0's). I cannot figure out what is the correct format string to use..

Thanks

Use the String to Byte Array on the String -> Conversion pallete.

I do not understand, can you show me an example?

Thanks

Actually, instead of trimming the string, right click the "zero" constant you're using to change format and choose "Representation --> U8" and that's probably the best way.

Basically, one letter is one byte, and the zero constant you have there is an I32, which is 4 bytes, generating the extra 6 zeroes.

That makes sense, but for another part of my code, I need to use string (just formatting a string, no conversions involved..)

Thanks

Thanks, but what if I do not want the spaces between the final string..?

You could index thru the array using a FOR LOOP and concatenate all of the values together into one string using shift registers.  If you are unfamiliar with these terms, I would suggest going thru tutorial videos to learn the basics of Labview.

The default delimiter when working with Array to Spreadsheet String is Tab. You can't put an empty string, but you can replace all of the Tab values if you really want:

You marked Kyle's answer as the solution, but keep in mind that that will only work if you have a single string character.

Just to un-rube your code a lot James.
