insert column into array (perhaps a silly question?)

[eword]

This may seem like a silly question, but is it possible in Labview to insert a new column into an established array? For example if I have a 2 column array is it possible to insert a new column between those two columns? If not is there another tool like a table or something I should be using, and how do you use it?

Thanks

The aptly named Insert Into Array on the aptly named Array palette.

Hi LV,

Use the 'Insert Array' Vi as shown:

Rgs,

LoL. Thanks. I was just confused as I read somewhere that using that will just overide the contents of the position, not actually insert an entirely new column. My bad. Thanks for your help.

Hi Student,

so you mixed up "InsertIntoArray" and "ReplaceArraySubset"?!

LV student,

Look at this as a learning opportunity.  ALWAYS keep the Context Help turned on when programming, especially if you have less than thirty years of experience with LV.  In the context help window for both the Insert into Array and Replace Array Subset functions you will find a link at the bottom called Detailed Help.  Clicking that link will open a full page of information about the function currently displayed in the context help window.

If you cannot figure it out from the Detailed Help, then write a little program to test things and see what happens.   If you are still confused, post a question along with your test VI.

I think you will find that most of the people who are active posters on this Forum do all the above in their own programming.
