block values from entering array

[Blokk]

Start to learn the given material, you can see the links above ("Looking For Free Training"). It will really help.

Here is an example how to use shift register to exclude for example a certain number from an array:

This is going to sound silly but I don't see the links, and I guees I interpret your example as not allowing the second indexed position to be passed right.

Oh sorry it was in your original post, thanks a lot, case statements have really been frustrating me on here, I wish if a condition wasn't meet the statement would just do nothing lol.

That or I wish I had a newer version of lab view so I could conditionally iterate through an array much easier as one of the comentors suggested

if you are a student, you can get the newest version of LabVIEW for free:

Actually i have even got a home licence just for a few usd:

Anyway, if you want to learn LV, you must be familiar with all basics: specially case structures and shift registers.

Just a small correction:

"and I guees I interpret your example as not allowing the second indexed position to be passed right."

No, it is actually the third element, the first is 0, second 1, third 2. LabVIEW is like C language, using zero indexed arrays. (For example Fortran uses 1 indexed, so it starts at 1.)
