String in Probewindow of a Variant Wire

[FMode]

Hello forum and NI,

I want to get the string of the probewindow of a Variant wire in my VI.
I have expected this from the function "Variant to Flatten String" but... NO WAY...

If I am wiring "Get Variant Attribute" to my Variant I am getting an 2 empty arrays with values and names (!!!) - it seems that this VI simply doesn't work ??!!


I am getting a little angry now... Every possible solution to my problem is blocked by the inqonsequent way Labview behaves. 😠

Hello FMode,

not everything that doesn't work is a LabVIEW problem...

Look at here:

Perhaps it helps.

okay...
but which routines/operations run if i put a Probe on a Variant Wire ? I want to have this routines accessible by my vi.
I can not convert a Variant to String like this probe does it !

I have solved this problem now with the OpenG LVData Toolkit I am recursivly "cracking" down what is on the Variant (no matter if it is simple data like a string or numeric or a cluster or array (containing Array's and Clusters!)) into a String...
