remove empy strings in 2D string array

Hello,

      I have this file I am trying to parse. It has alot of info  header in it but I want only the data in it. the data is spaced out from the header by two empty lines. When I process it, I get a lot of empty strings in my array that I want to remove. Run my Vi and see what I am taling about.

I attached the file and vi as well.

You're going to need to iterate through each row to see if it's one you want to keep or not. Like this:

Ok, thanks for the reply.

I did get to that final point in your last array. but I guess I do want the header of that array to align. for example, Pred should be moved back to the empty string position and I wasnt able to do that. In other words, there shoudl not be an empty string between Time and Pred

You could search each row for empty elements and remove them manually there if you'd like. If you haven't already installed it, you should get the OpenG add-on. It has some very helpful array tools. It has a VI that searches an array and outputs all indices found. You could then use those indices to remove the elements that you don't want.

Cheers
