multi string

[Mathan]

Dears,

Actually am using a dll which will give a output string like this.

string1 followed by a null character

string2 followed by a null character

.

.

.

string4 followed by a double null character which indicates end of the string.

How can i extract it and display in a string indicator one by one?

Thanks,

Mathan

Hi mathan,

what do you mean with one by one? You can use the "Spreadsheet string to array" function and run through a loop to show every array entry in your indicator.

Dear mike,

Actually the dll returns 4 strings. (string1 with null character in the end, string2 with null character in the end.... string 4 with a double null character in the end.)

I need to show all the 4 values in a string indicator.

Hope i was clear this time?

Thanks,

Mathan

Dear mike,

Actually the multistring output from the dll will be like this format (assume)

mathan\0mike\0partha\0JLV\0dennis\0ben\0altenbach\0rolfk\0tst\0ni\0\0

Then i need the output like this.

all values stored in a string array.

Hope i was clear.

Hi mathan,

use the "spreadsheet string to array" function and delete the last two elements.

Dear mike,

actually every name is terminated by a \0 (single 0) and finally the whole multistring was terminated by a \0\0 (double \0).

Hi mathan,

i switched to "code display", that´s the reason for the "\00". You can use every other delimiter.
