Scan from string hexadecimal U64 possible?

[lvw]

With LabVIEW built in "Scan from string" function you can decode hexadecimal strings with "%X" format specifier.

The data type is set to U32 (8 characters) by default. I have to scan U64 (16 characters) strings.

Is there a possibility to configure the "Scan from string" function to scan and generate 64-bit integer values? Something like "%LX" as format specifier?

I can parse it on my own, but I would prefer an built in functionality.

Thanks for any ideas

Yes.

Use %16x as the format specifier and wire a 0 in U64 format into the "default value 1" box,

That shoult return you the correct u64 as expected.

Thanks, I normally not use the default input of the function. This should solve my problem.
