Input String and Number block

[PhilipJoeP]

This is embarrassing.  I was just in a NI LabView presentation and they had an example VI that used a VI function that accepts a string and parses it based off of a token string.

 

So the example was…

 

If you had an input string of…

 

Value = 3

 

… and fed the VI function a token string of…

 

%s = %n

 

… the returned values from the block are a string and a numeric, “Value” and 3 respectfully.

 

Does anyone know where this VI function block is in the palates?

 

Thanks.

Look for SCAN FROM STRING - row 2, column 0 in the STRING function palette.

Except the "%n" won't work.  If you're looking for a decimal number, use "%d".  Consult the help for other options.

Hi Phillip,

"scan from string" in the string functions palette...

Scan From String (in the String palette).

EDIT: Guess everybody must be on a coffee break.
