I have concatenated two strings. Is there an easy was to set the name of the concatenated string?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thanks Gerdw,
If the below is what you mean, I tried it before posting but it didn't work.
In the output cluster indicator, the concatenated string doesn't have a label. Am I doing it wrong?

Hi Sean,

Yes.
When you want defined labels in this cluster you should/need to define a typedefinition for that cluster. Then wire an instance of that type definition to the middle connector of Bundle - or use BundleByName instead…

If you want to go with the unnamed bundle you'll need to Type Cast the string to a string with a label in order for it to have a name.

Of course if the goal is to label the elements of an indicator, you can also edit the names in the indicator. If the indicator is an output of a VI, the callers of that VI will see the names given in the indicator.

Thanks All,
Type cast, is probably the best solution for me in this instance!

For LabVIEW 2018 and later, Coerce to Type is safer than Type Cast for naming wires in general. (It actually existed in earlier versions of LabVIEW too, but it wasn't officially supported before)

I'd probably cluster them as before, and change the labels in the indicator.
And remember, NXG doesn't have wire names anymore. So the type cast or alternatives won't do anything useful... You might want to shy away from depending on wire names, to get used to it. It won't be added later, it's been removed from the G language for ever.

Really? I find wire names to be quite helpful, especially if the diagram is somewhat big or cluttered. It'd be a bummer.
