displaying string in a matrix

[kevin_khan]

Hi there I have this problem I am working on.  I am making a GUI that will send a command to a microcontroller that I am working with.  When this command is recieved by the microcontroller, it will begin to transmit information to the computer.  This data would be recieved in a string format.  The exact sequence that I am recieving is DD@@AADDEEPPQQTTUU.  I want to take this sequence and sort it into a matrix that would be displayed for the user.   The sequence should be broken up into substrings with lenghth of two and then be added to the matrix.  However I am not sure how to do this, please help in any you can.

Do you want a matrix or do you want an array?  They are two different things in LabVIEW.  You can create an array of strings.  But a matrix (while a lot like an array) is a different entity and only works on double numeric datatypes.

You'll need a loop and functions in the array palette and String palette to break apart subsets of the string and build them into an array.

At this point of time I would like to create a matrix.

You can't create a matrix of strings.

You can make a 1-D array or a 2-D array of strings.

So how would I create a 2-D array of string?
