scan from string

[ZHH]

I want to change some strings such as:

a

ab

abc

to enum type, but can't succeed, why?

I found that scan from string can transfer some strings to enum control, or constant, indicator?

Feeling confused.

Thanks.

Hi ZHH,

Please post your code and we can show you where you went wrong. Consider posting a LabVIEW snippet or upload for an older version (Like LV 2012) so that more people can see it.

Hi Gregoryj

Problem just solved, it is the input type match…

Thanks for your reply.

Hi GregoryJ

Sorry, I don't know why it seemed solved, but again not working....

Hi ZHH,

The VI is from LV 2016, please attach for an earlier version like LV 2012.

Hi,

I installed labview 2016, any difference between 2016 and 2012? 

[Gregory]

No, but I don't have the most recent version, so I cannot view your VI. If you save for a previous version and select 2012 I will be able to view it.

Hi ZHH,

any difference between 2016 and 2012?

Yes!

In LV2016 you can open VIs from older LV versions (like LV2012) - but in LV2012 you cannot open VIs from more recent LV versions like LV2016!

(The most prominent change in LV2016 were the new channel wires! Other versions "just" changed icons… :D)

When people ask for uploading your VI in an older LV version you should do so (Edit menu -> Save for previous)!

I see, thanks.

I saved it as of 2012, does it works now?Thanks.
