String storage

[jvh75021]

I am trying to determine where a string (constant?) is used. I used slickEdit to search the whole directory but it found nothing. Are strings stored as something other than standard ASCII codes?

thanks,

jvh

If you want to find a particular string in a VI or hierarchy, you should use Edit>Find and Replace.

An addition to Dennis' answer:

LV is using zip compression for it's saving routines... But you can still try to find some strings in the files

And some more background:

LabVIEW 8 started storing the block diagram compressed

LabVIEW 8.5 (or 8.6) started storing the Front Panel compressed

I think that only the VI description is still saved 'as is'
