String to array - more elegant solution possible?

[MichaGue_01]

Hello, I have a string that contains different status information. These are separated by \n\r. Now I would like to transfer each status message into an array field. My solution works, but I find it very complicated. Does anyone have an idea to solve it more elegantly?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best regards,

Michael

Yes, it looks complicated…

There surely someone comes up with a RegEx solution to filter all those EOL chars…

I would have done this except leave the delimiter unwired (the EOL is handled already in the Spreadsheet String To Array).  I have actually ran into this enough that I have a VI that does the FOR loop to eliminate empty strings in my arrays.  I also have a similar one for NaN in floating point arrays.

Remember that "scan string for tokens" (by default) collapses multiple consecutive delimiters into one, offering yet another simple solutions:

This simplifies things, because if does not matter if the delimiter is \n\r, \n, \r\n, \n\r\n\r, etc.

NOTE: Of course this is an an opportunity to remind people of my old idea:

Contract multiple delimiters for "Spreadsheet string to array" 

Please vote for it! Thanks! 😄

If you have OpenG library, use it in the following way. Simple!
