insert small 2d array into larger 2d array

[John Pierson]

hi, it is possible to insert a pre exsisting small array into (so it over writes) the data in a larger 2d array at a certian possition (in BOTH definable x and y coordinates)

for example:

2,4

4,7

into 

0,0,0,0,1

6,7,2,8,1

6,6,8,3,1

1,3,4,7,9

2,6,5,8,2

to give say:

0,0,0,0,1

6,7,2,8,1

6,{2,4},3,1

1,{4,7},7,9

2,6,5,8,2

or any other position, so you could get it anywhere in that 2d array??

I'm a little stumped, and i don't have any useful VI code to offer.

Yes, it's possible (and easy!). You need "Replace Array Subset"

on oddly i'd tried that on the day i posted the request and it didn't work,

then you suggest it and it works.....

No, that would be Altenbach

Just curious. How you are comparing this user Rod to our beloved Christian?

[Rod42]

It was hardly wizardly (of me) to suggest a single LabVIEW function! I think that the suggestion was made as the function worked afrer I had suggested it but not before. (Isn't that the cardboad cut out progrmmer syndrome)

I read Altenbach's posts and learn.

I called you a wizard because it didn't work before and then it did after you said it should.

Our programming guy here in the uni is dubbed the Labview Wizard because simular things happen.
