I'm 99 % Shure that my 'Format string constant is right' in (scan from string), But scan failes everytime?? Help!

[HFZ]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get  a device data for: sensor type, software and hardware written out by using a scan from string.

But something is wrong with the Format string, I cant figure it out i used hours on it but no result. What could be wrong!,  Please tell me, what to do  or if it can be done another way!?

Regards Zamzam

Hi!

I'm using LabView 8.0 on WinXP and there's no error when
running your program on my comp.

See attached for the result after program completion.

Maybe the problem lies somewhere else, I mean outside this VI - in the way you use it.

Best regards,
Rashid.

Hi HFZ,

what about that ?

Hi,

If you wire the error-output you can see the error.

Try a '-' in the last search. You are using a '_' (underscore)

With the '-' it works fine

I'm surprised it works on LV 8... because it doesn't on LV 7.1.1 (error 85 : scan failed)

To be honest I didn't try to understand what was the mistake in HFZ code, I just modified it do as I usually do 😉 at least it works with LV 7.1.1

The vi doesn't work on LV8. It produces also error 85 on my PC

It isn't right! replace "Hardware: %[A-Za-z 0-9._]" by "Hardware: %[A-Za-z 0-9.\-]"

Rolf, without the '\' I think

Sorry, I didn't know that if not connect "error out" I'll never see the error. You are right there IS error: underscore is used instead of hyphen.

Best regards,
Rashid.

I asume that  Rolf K. answer was the right one, Coz i was really shure that it could be done like I make it, but switching the characters ' _ ' with ' - ' did it  wwwooooouyuuhhh. thanks Rolf!!!
