floating point string format

[vakost]

Hello.

I am converting a string to several values, strings and numbers but when I want to convert a part of the string into a float, it seems that only the integer part is converting.

Can you figure out what am I doing wrong? I am using LV 8.6.1.

Attached is a pic and the vi.

Thanks,

Vasilis.

Your attached VI seems to work properly in LabVIEW 2012.

You can also define your format string as %8s %4s: %f

leaving out the "4.1".

Sorry, I don't have 8.6.1 installed to test it in that environment.

Hello.

I solved it. It seems to be a localiazion parameter, I am located in Greece, where the comma is the decimal separator.

So, instead of putting "%4.1f", I put "%.;%4.1f" and it worked.

Thanks anyway,

Vasilis.
