Regular Expression for match pattern

[tst]

Did you try my last solution (using Spreadsheet String to Array with a space as the delimiter)?

[shoneill]

OK, if the space isn't a problem, then it's much easier.

Try this.

Hope this helps

Why not simply use space delimited entries.  This way you avoid having to place a comma.

But the better approach is what tst is recommending.  If you have an Operator (User) Interface, simply have them enter numbers in one manner and format the string within your vi.  This eliminates (reduces?) bad entries.  You can also do entry checking before appending the new value to the string.  Did tst suggest using an array instead of using a string?  (Yes, tst did)   You should consider putting the values into an array9 or arrays?), then you can manipulate the data more efficiently in the future.

Why the single star?  If people recommend using Spreadsheet String to Array with a space as the delimiter, isn't that what I suggested?

If you absolutely want to use a comma, then you can scan for the white space to see if there is a comma preceding it.  If there is no comma, then you can append it.   😛

Yes, Shane, that´s exactly what I needed. Thanks a lot for your time.

Thanks also to the others, but as I said the program is allready done. I chek it and all functions are working with that, it would take me hours to update it. But now i´m conscient for future implementations (I also think that an array will be the best option).

See u, guys.

PS: Shane rules!

IMHO, LabVIEW arrays are poor for end user interface input. Try something like this list editor where you can add/modify/delete a list of strings or numbers (you can change the number sontrol to a string). You can even drag itemsinside the list.

Ok, guys, Let´s go to do it a bit more complicated...

The last proposed solution by Shane brushes the perfection, but there is still a problem: it gives error with decimal numbers, which shouldn´t be. i.e. (4, 3.2, -5) is also correct.

Superstar dj´s, here we go!

Easy,  just change the %d specifier to %f and you're done.

Or be lazy and take this VI...... 😄

Hope this helps

Shane.

Thanks again, Shane. I´m starting to hesitate if I should include your name in the cooperation group of the program...

[shoneill]

Hey, why hesitate.

I can stick it on my CV.

Or you could just give me a few stars (5 are always nicest.....)

Shane.

This VI (just as a test) works rather well IMO.  It alternatively scans and numbers and non-numbers until nothing is left.  Interesting advantage is just about anything can be used as a delimiter and they do not have to be consistant and it will still work.

Just thought I would pass this along because I thought this thread was interesting...
