dynamic creation of clusters elements

[parthipan]

hi,

i need to create elements in cluster dynamiccaly.is it possible.my problem is i need to read the xml file and i need to create the cluster element based on the attribute

in this xml

<cluster>

<element 1/>

<element 2/>

<cluster/>

In this case the cluster should have two element

<cluster>

<element 1/>

<element 2/>

<element 3/>

<cluster/>

In this case the cluster should have 3 element is it possible to change the cluster dynamically bt reading the xml.

Hello Parthipan,

unfortunately you can not set the size of a cluster dynamically. If all elements have the same data type, just use an array instead. Or you can read first all elements as string type, then convert each to the type you want.

I dont think It is possible.

YES, by using LabVIEW Scritping.

Yes, by using Insert, Replace, Reshape & Delete array functions (and in many more ways).

If you don't know about clusters and arrays it's a VERY bad idea to even look at scripting. That's jsut going to get you into a lot of trouble. LabVIEW scripting is not supported by NI, and so any code you create will be on your own.

As noted before, if the element types are all the same, use an array.

To learn more about LabVIEW it is recommended that you go through the tutorial(s) and look over the material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. You can also take the online courses for free.
