decimal string to number problems

[milo_unlimited]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get the numbers from a string i got from an external device into a spreadsheet file, but it wont let me..

can somebody help me?

(the string contains 3 letters, one space and then 4 numbers)

(I also tried to connect it to both the 1-d and the 2-d connectors)

(yes I set the spreadsheet-write-vi to integer)

thanks

Please post whatever VI you have already, as well as some sample data.

What else do you need to know?

If you look at the error help (ctrl-l) you can see that the 'Write spreadsheet file' functions wants and 1D or 2D array of numbers).

You give the function a scalar, to get this working use an 'build array' function.

 

You can get the same error info if you hover the broken wire.
