search and replace string formatting

[hasse]

Hi,

I am trying to do a search and replace formatting of a string.

In the example I am looking for string "PASSED" but it must also start with usbflash and some number + PASSED.

I can't get the format to have a number from 1-99. The number of replacements should add up to 6 in this case. I have tried with \d for any number, and I also tried [1-99].

Please post the VI that you have tried so far along with the String input (In 2011 LV version please).

Try this attached file.

You could use Scan From String with a format of %d.  That will read off the number and the remaining string should then be "PASSED".

Try zipping up your VI and posting that.

I don't know why it's not working to upload ether ,zip or a vi?

I uploaded 2 images for the front panel and block diagram. Hope you can read it!

Right click on the Search And Replace String function.  There is an option to use Regular Expressions.  Then give this a try.

EDIT: You will need to set the Replace All input to TRUE.

Thank you crossrulz!

I had it set as regular expression - it was the plus sign that was missing.
