build spreadsheet string from 2 substrings

[I_Pant]

Hi all
I am trying to concatenate 2 arrays of strings. The first array contains 4 numerical values in string format and the second array contains time value in string format. What I am trying to do is to concatenate (?) these 2 arrays so I can get this : val1 val2 val3 val4 timestr          in order  to produce an excel report ..
                                                                                            val1 val2 val3 val4 timestr
I tried to use the concatenate strings function but i get : val1 val2 val3 val4
                                                                                           val1 val2 val3 val4
                                                                                           timestr
                                                                                           timestr
I attach my vi if anyone wishes to help please do...

Thanks very much
Ioannis

I have got it to work for you.  You will still need to clean up some of the things no longer needed.

Hi Tom thanks for the reply. I am running LV7.1 and I can't run your VI...its 8.2...

here is a picture of the changed code.  I don't know how to save to versions earlier than 8.0!

I would suggest reconsidering the way you've implemented your code. As it is, you're carrying around 5 arrays in separate shift registers. It seems that all you're doing is appending a string to an indicator. You can accomplish this by simply having a single shift register which is the string, and you simply append a string to it that you can easily build without having to deal with 2D arrays and transpose functions.
