Replacing elements

[b_lee]

Is there any way to replace functions without having to do it manually? In C, the replace function allows you to type a word and replace all of them with another. Can I do that in Labview e.g. visa session 1 replace all of them with visa session 2?

You can use a case structure to select from a predefined list of functions, provided that all cases can use the same inputs and outputs. There has also been some discussion of scripting, which is not officially supported.

If you have LabVIEW 8 you can.

I have Labview 7. Does that mean I cant do it?

[Dennis_Knutson]

That's right. This is just one of many features that makes the upgrade worthwhile. I just hope my management agrees and approves it for me.

well so much for that idea...guess I'll have to find them all and change them manually. Damn...lol

On the plus side, you can at least find them by searching on the text string.  I know that's a poor second, but it is better than crawling the code manually.  Load everything you think might have the name and go for it.  If you may have this happen again, consider using strict typedefs.  Then you only have to change it in one place and the others will update automatically.
