Match Pattern labview

[George_Z]

Hi,

I am new in labview, and I am trying to search some Process id from a string:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

c:\> tasklist /fi "imagename eq notepad.exe"

Image Name                   PID Session Name     Session#    Mem Usage

========================= ====== ================ ======== ============

notepad.exe                 2964 Console                 0        728 K

notepad.exe                 2432 Console                 0      1,044 K

what I want to get is these PID: 2964 and 2432. I have tried to use multiply string functions, but I think this one can make it. 

Can someone help me set up the regular expression? Thanks in advance.

Hello George_Z

       Have you tried using array functions where you need to give the no.of column and can vary no. of rows to get what you want. Hope it helps...

Hi George,

Read your text from the line that looks like the header for the information contained below [Image Name                   PID Session Name     Session#    Mem Usage].

Put this data into a 2D Str Arr. Index the 1st column alone as a 1D Str Arr. Then take the word PID from its 0th element. In the same array look for the word ' Console' ['\sConsole] using the Match pattern function & take out the portion of the Str found before the match.

Look carefully that I have included a Space ('\s') character along with the pattern to be looked for and matched.

This assumes that you'll always have " Console" before the PID.

I have a suspicion that there's a better Regexp, but I can't do it.

Here is a cool solution to your problem. Should work with Labview 8+

Did it not work?

Well, it doesn't do what the poster originally asked for, and it also does not place a tab between the process ID and the Session Name. Other than that, it works just fine.

Well my solution is some kind of a more general type I shall admit ;). Also if George_Z  wants the pid he can just index the correct cell and convert the PID+Session name to a number. I did that on purpose. I could not solve his entirely assignment
