I am reading file in labview which contains some comments separated by backslash but i dont want those commensts to be dispalyed after reading to be displayed in indicator. How to do this.

Below is attached vi and file

Search the array for an element that begins with \\ and delete that row from the array.

I tried this iwth search array function but it is detecting only when i am giving full comment as an input, whereas i want it to detect only \\.

You need to use a function such as Match Pattern to search a portion of each string element.

I tried this match pattern also, with this i am facing two problems first, it is detecting only for one time whereas in my file i am having multiple comments, and it is detecting only the first comment it sees and second issue is that it is just separating the backslash from the string and i want to separate the whole string with backslash. May be i am not using it properly 

below is the snippet of how i am doing.

First, you need to operate on each element of the array, not on the string you made by converting the array into a spreadsheet string.

The second thing is based on the \\ pattern.  Look at the detailed for the function and how to build the pattern.  Because backslash has a special meaning for the match pattern, if you want to find a backslash, you use a double backslash to "escape out the code".  So double backslash means match a "literal backslash".  So use 4 backslashes to find a literal double backslash.
