hi, thanks for the reply 🙂

It was in LabVIEW 6.1, actually. I've converted it to version 5.0 for you. Let me know if this works.

hi JRA,

it compares the 2 numbers alrite- but I want to enter the first number in the string in scientific notation say , as 6.794 E+6 and compare it with the 2nd number. the program recognizes the 2nd number ,Y, even if it is given in scientific notation and converts it into its actual value for comaprison. but for the number in the string it only recognizes the first part of the number ( here it would be 6 ).

I am reading the X input from a multimeter which gives the number in the string in exponential form only. so how do I get this to be recognized for its true value?

thanks
Lalitha.
