String to Table

[Rohit_Chawla]

Hello there.

I am trying to figure our a way to put String inputs into a table in left right and top bottom.

eg

string 1 goes to Row0Col0 (R0C0)

string 2 goes to R0C1

string 3 goes to R1C0

string 4 goes to R1C1

and so on.

I basically want to implement this in a larger VI which needs a report to be printed with data neatly spread out in rows and columns.

And the data is "String" and not numeric.

Can anyone help ?

A sample VI to make my point more clear ?

Hi Rohit,

You could try using the decimate 1D array to take alternate elements out of an array, and build this into a new array (see attached snippet).

Many thanks,

Hi Rohit,

first you build your rows, then you build your table from the rows:

Great !!!!!!!!

I was wondering if someone would ever answer a Newbie like me.

You were prompt and your solution was very straight and did exactly what i wanted to see in the result.

Thanks a lot.

Cheers.

Thanks a ton.

Your solution was very easy.

But only problem was that I wanted String 2 to go to R0C1 and String 3 to go to R1C0.

The result was getting swapped.

So I interchanged the build array terminals and got my work done.

Thanks for the extremely prompt solution.

Cheets.
