Insert variable into text string

[markwtc]

Hi, can somebody help me insert variables into a text string? I am using the "Basic Serial Write and Read.vi in labview.

 I need to send the following string to the serial port:

- AT$$INPUT1SMSPHONE=phone1,phone2,phone3

- AT$$INPUT1SMS_WSEC=5

- AT$$INPUT1SMS_DATAON=TYPE SMS MESSAGE HERE

How do I make a vi with phone1,phone2,phone3 and TYPE SMS MESSAGE HERE as variables and send it to the serial port?

If somebody could do an example vi it would be fantastic.

Kind regards,

Mark

markwtc,

Use the Format into String.vi.  I attached an example (LV86) and png.  Basically, replace your string tokens (phone1, phone2, etc) with "%s" format specifier.  There are a million ways to format variables into strings using this vi.  Dig through the help and have fun!
