Sending 2D Array string through TCP

[timothysilverman]

Hi all, I'm still new to LabVIEW, is there a kind soul that can explain to me how to send a 2D Array string, in my case is a table through TCP.

Do I need to use any conversion, or flatten.

Thank you in advance

Flatten to String and Unflatten from String.  Make sure you are prepending the array size with the boolean.

In this, a table is an array of strings, so replace all the orange stuff with the equivalent. The rest stays the same.

Hi

Thank you for the explanation, but can I know if this can be done through TCP/IP and how?

For example, I have 2 different vi files, one client and one server. The server will have the information of the 2D array, while the client will have to read from the server through TCP/IP.

May I know is there a way to do it?

Best regards,

Yes.

The TCP/IP stuff would be the part that is effectively in the middle of the example.  TCP/IP sends string data.  So take the left after to go from 2-D array to string in the VI that will send the data.   Take the right half of the example to go into the receiver VI that will take the string it reads from the TCP/IP and recover it back to a 2-D array.

It's already shown. Left side is the sender code and the right side is the receiver code. The plain string in the middle is sent over tcp. Look at the examples included with LabVIEW. .(e.g. sent the size first so the receiver knows how many bytes to read).
