building an array

[b_lee]

Can anyone help me build an array from this vi?

Of course! 🙂

However, you should tell us what kind of array you want.

• Do you simply want a subset of the orange 2D array? (e.g. column 6, row 2-18)
• Do you want to built a size 16 integer array in the FOR loop?
• Why does the While loop need to run 4x, there is really nothing new to do after the first iteration?

Ok so this is what I need to accomplish. The while loop needs to actually go to the end of the file getting only every nth element and put it into a one dimensional array.  I just need to know how to get it into the array.

Thanks,

Sorry, still not clear. 😉

You are reading a 2D array, so every n'th element is not a defined operation. Do you want every n'th row perhaps?

Ok let me try and clarify I have an n X n array and I am taking the 6th column and the nth row of that column, then the nth row after that, and so on. I then want to make an array with one column and as many rows as I acquire by picking off the nth rows of the first array. Hope that makes sense. If not I can try again.

Sure, here's a quick draft.

(Most likely, you need to tweak it for your exact requirements. It is e.g. not clear if you want to start with element 0 or n, etc. Nothing a "+1" or "-1" here and there could not fix. :))

Thanks. That helped completely. where would I be without you LabVIEW Champions?
