Seperate single/double digit String Characters in Array

[SkyForCe]

Hi guys,

I am currently working on reading Tabs from a .txt file for a guitar playing robot.

I managed to put each chord into one line.

Now I am trying to put everything into an array.

When I tried to remove the "-" and "|" characters I ran into a problem.

I don't know how to properly seperate each characters. When I would seperate the fields by one char each field i have a problem with numbers higher than 9, because if I have a 14 for example, they should be in 1 field. So I thought I just jump to the next everytime there is a "-" or "|". Haven't implemented the "|" to check if it worked so far.

But with my current method the problem is that it doesnt jump to the next array field when there is a number. Therefore the lines get "out of sync" 

The "|" characters should always be in one column, thats not the case with my attempt.

LabVIEW version: latest 2018

If you know a better way to do this pls let me know.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Sky,

can you convert your VI to LV2017 (or older)?

Just an idea:

Hi Sky,

File menu -> Save for previous…

Here it is a LV17 version

Thanks for your solution.

Could you pls upload your VI ?

I am not sure but I think the problem with your resolution is that for example the number 14 would be split apart to 1 and 4.

Also all letters should just be deleted. Only the numbers and the spaces between are important

Hi Sky,

Sorry, didn't save that VI. But all you need can be seen in the picture…

(The learning effect is much better than just to take a ready-made VI.)

Yes, my suggestion would do that.

Also all letters should just be deleted. Only the numbers and the spaces between are important

I made just a suggestion. You can improve it on your own!

Idea: You could count the "-" chars before deleting them to get the note position in the track…

Thank GerdW for the help,

I am gonna try to do it by counting the "-" chars.

Best regards,
