Mac Path separator

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi,

 

I am trying to port a labview-vi written in windows to mac. In windows, it uses at DLL, so I converted it to a Mac Framework. Everything is working well. But I have one problem concerning the path separator: On Mac, LabView uses a colon as separator, which surely works well with the labview-vis. If I pass this path (by convert to string-->call library node) to an external framework, the framework expects a separation as used in the terminal by a slash (/). Is there any way to use slashes as separator or to convert the path to a path the framework understands? If not, the only solution is to write a conversion on my own, but is there a better solution?

 

Thanks!

 

Christian

For some Mac path/string manipulation pointers, see this blog entry .

 

It looks like the function you want is vi.lib/AdvancedString/Path To Command Line String.vi
