comparison of 2 1D string arrays

[cha@bellflight.com]

Hello NI community,

Attached is a LabVIEW 2018 SP1 application in which 2 1D arrays of string are compared. If they match, then an array of indices is generated. In this application, the array of indices should be 57, 56, and 170 in order.

However, I only get the index of 170. I would appreciate your help in solving this minor problem.

Change the tunnels of the inner for loop to a shift register, as you have for the outer for loop.

You don't need any shift registers at all.

Use the "advanced" tunnel modes already available with your LV2018 version:

Assuming that the elements in the master array are unique and each selected exists (If it does not, you'll get -1), all you need is the following:

(the function is "Search array". btw. I don't understand the purpose of your flat sequence.)

Thanks for your help, GerdW & UliB

Hello altenbach,

Attached is an updated version "2021_01_03_string_comparison_01.vi" in which the array of master item codes is embedded in a tree control. If an item code is selected, then it becomes disabled.

I would appreciate your help in getting the last item code in the tree control disabled. Thanks.

By the way, I hope you understand the purpose of my flat sequence structure.

No I don't understand the purpose of your flat sequence!!! You code would work identically if you remove the flat sequence because all important execution orders are fully determined by dataflow principles.

Sorry, it is not clear what you want. First you say you want the selected item disabled then you say you want the last item disabled. Are these the same or different things? What is the order of items (first/last/etc.)? Don't you need a loop and e.g. event structure to tell when selections change? To react to user interactions?

Maybe all you really need is a listbox?

Thanks, altenbach, for your help,

I still use tree control in conjunction with an event structure in a WHILE loop, and get all 3 item codes, P00016, P00017, and X00028 disabled!
