replacing Strings (again)

[ASCologne]

Hallo,

I have a string with lots of numbers in scientific notation, e.g. 1,23456E+10 (German OS). I want to save it to a spreadsheat file, but before that I want to replace all "," with "." and all "E" with "e". (Otherwise GNUplot cannot read them).
With my idea and the ideas of the LabVIEW-Forum, only the first ones were replaced.

Example: 1,0E-6 1,0E-6 becomes 1.0e-6 1,0E-6 and NOT 1.0e-6 1.0e-6

How can I manage that? The common "Search and Replace String" works but stops after the first match.

PS: Please send VI's that can be loaded with LabVIEW 6.1^.

Hi Arno

I am attaching a vi which converts the string in the shape u desire.

Hope it works for u. Your feedbacks are welcome.

The E-->e is easy, just use "to lower case". 🙂

To replace all using search and replace, just wire a TRUE to the "replace all?" terminal.

The attached example in LV6.1 shows both methods.
