splitting a string

[murchak]

I apologize for posting yet another trivial question about splitting strings. I read through many suggestions for this, and didn't see

a general answer.

String: asd_dw_22_Lx-2.gm

How do I split this into asd, dw, 22, Lx-2.gm (clearly the desired string components are those elements separated by "_").

The output should not be a specific component, but any number of components. I imagine a VI that takes the above string

as input, and knows the delimeter is an underscore, and outputs asd, 22, Lx-2.gm.

Now, what if the separator is a dot, a tab, a space, etc. Is there a VI that takes an input string, a separator (defined by the user),

and spits out anything it finds between the defined separators?

Yes. Spreadsheet String to Array.

Thanks!

How do I wire a constant string array to the array type.

When I right-click and create a constant, it is of type 2D double. I can easily change

it to 1D, but how do I change that to a string type?

Got it!

Thank you very much
