Table string to array

[TanTan]

Hi,

I need to print out a specify device mac addres.

I got the mac address in table form by command prompt as attached file, but there are more than one mac address listed out.

The only mac address number i want to use, is the 4th mac address 00-04-A3-12-32-25.

May i know how to get this 00-04-A3-12-32-25 mac address from the whole table string and list it in array?

Appreciated your advice.

Thanks.

Hi TanTan,

the part after "system exec.vi" shown in this bd will work for you to ge a 2d array of your data.

Here is a VI I use to get strings out of a table that has a header with seperator line ( ======== )

Feed your string into the String In. Feed the Seperator Char (in your case the 😃 and it will break out the table into an array that you can index to get what you want.

Hi Omar,

Thanks for your feedback. My LV version is 8.5.1. May i have the downgrade vi that you attached previously?

Thanks.

Try this vi. Change text file path before running.

This is the VI that I use to do the very same thing of pulling MAC addresses out of a table.

But I don't read a file, but read the table via RS232 from a network switch.
