Scan From String

[GaryN]

I can't for the life of me get Scan from string to parse a strong in this format: "string1", "string2", "string3"

It doesn't seem too hard to me. I tried "%s", "%s", "%s" and received an error and string1", as my output .

Error 85 occurred at Scan From String (arg 1) in Determine File Info.vi

Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW:  Scan failed.

I've tried to alter it using the match exact and match period/comma and it just doesn't work.

Frustrating. What am I doing wrong? (LV7.1)

Hi,

try following format string: "%[^"]", "%[^"]", "%[^"] 

see also help for format specifier from which I have copied following row:

• %[^,;]—Matches any string of characters up to but not including the first comma or semicolon.
