string formating

[Jim Q]

where can i find a list of all the different formats that you can use for a string being piped out of a Array to Spreadsheet String?

Try searching for Format Specifier Syntax in LabView Help.

great, i found it, thank you jmcbee!



can anyone tell me, now, if there's a way to take multiple dbl's and combine them together to look like this with formatting?:

J,1234,123,12,12.9876,123,12.9876

Jim,

Since the doubles have different formats (some as integers, some with 4 decimal precision), it is neccessary to format the strings individually before using the "Array to Spreadsheet String" function.  I couldn't find a "pretty" way to do this, but I've attached an example showing two different ways which accomplish the same thing:



I hope that helps!
