string convert

[cRayFiSh]

hi

just a stupid question maybe ...
but i'm missing some string convert functions.
e.g. i habe a list with something like:
text(space)text(space)text(spacespacespace)text
and want to convert one (or more) space(s) between the text into ONE tab.
i didn't found any function that makes me able to convert that so that i get
as a result:
text(tab)text(tab)text(tab)text

maybe someone has an idea?

thanks,

Use the VI located in the LabVIEW directory
examples\general\strings.llb\Search String and Replace- General.vi
Set the old pattern to replace [\s]+
Set the new pattern to tab.

[\s]+ is a regular expression that means to the "Match Pattern" function:
any non-empty sequence of spaces.

Hi Tobias,

use the functions "Scan from string" and "Format Into String"
with the format strings "%s\s%s\s..." and "%s\t%s\t..." like
in the VI attached to this mail.

maybe that helps you

best regards
