scan from string does not recognize AM/PM flag

[FriedrichV]

Hi,

I am using Labview 8.6. I want to parse a time string, with an AM/PM flag inside, but the "scan form string" time format code

"%<%d/%m/%Y %I:%M:%S %p>T" does not recognize the AM/PM flag. The remaining string containes the AM/PM flag.

best regards,

Friedrich Vollink.

Example with default values.

I think Format string is wrong..it should be "%<%H:%M:%S%2u%m/%d/%y>T"

It works now. I toggled AM/PM time format on my laptop (control panel/local settings).

Thanks for the reply.

The solution is:

define the AM and PM symbols in the control panel\regional settings\time  Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

I'm using LV2010 and the AM/PM flags are defined in the control panel/local settings, but I still have the same problem!

Format String:  %<%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S%p >T

Input String:

05/06/11 02:15:56 PM

Output Time Stamp:

2:15:56.000 AM
5/6/2011

Remaining String:

PM

Did you read the help for time format strings? You cannot use 'H' for 24 hour time and the am/pm flag.
