Separate the string dynamically

[Sonti_11532]

Dear Sir,

I am reading the instrument name using NI MAX. For example TCPIP0::192.168.9.2::inst0::INSTR is the instrument name and iwant to separate the IP address from that string.

I used the string sepatare function and i gave some offset for this string, finally i separated.

Assume the IP address changes to 10.1.8.93 how do i seperate. For this again i have to give seperate offset.

Please let me know the procedure to extract the IP dynamically.

Regards,

There are a few ways to do this.  Here is a solution using the Search/Split String twice to find the "::" and getting the IP address.

And just to make Jeff Bohrer happy, here is a solution using the Split String VI.  That is a VI hidden inside of vi.lib that is not on the palettes.  Check out Darren's Hidden Gems for more info on it.

You can also do it with a regular expression (regex).
