word array to string

[FredFred]

Hello to all,

Is there a method to convert a word array to string similar to the Byte array to string function?

Thanks-N-Advance

Dont think so...but you could break the word into bytes to use that function then concatenate the strings...assuming the word is in byte order, otherwise I think you'd have to force it in some manner anywasy since a character is a byte...

You don't really need a new function, since a simple Type Cast will do the trick:

smercurio,

I tried doing that with no success.

BTW how do you attach an image to a post?

Thanks

Try again Fred, and look at the value you have in your word x4CD3 when it should be x4C3D.

The red dot on the Byte Array to String function tells me that there datatype coercion going on. You need to set the datatype of the array elements to U8. They're probably set to the default of I32. Note: This is just for the upper array. The other array should obviously be U16.

To attach an image to the post:

1. Get the image. I use Code Capture Tool.
   
2. Paste the path to the file in the textbox in the "Attachment" section that appears below the message creation box.
3. Submit the post. (Note: If you preview the post, the attachment gets lost and you'll need to specify it again.)

If you then want to insert the image in the body of the post:

1. Go over to the "Options" menu that appears on the right just above the message body. This is a dropdown menu. Select "Edit".
2. When you get the edit screen you'll see the URL for your image, as it's been uploaded to the NI servers.
3. Right-click on the URL and select "copy link" (or something to that effect, depending on your browser).
4. Where you want to embed the picture click on the "Insert an image" button (yellow square with a mountain) in the toolbar right above the message entry area.
5. Paste in the URL.
6. Re-submit the post.

That won't fix it. The problem is with the datatype of the array elements, as I indicated in my response.

All you need is a typecast (unless you have issues with byte order).

If you want little endian, use "flatten to string" as follows:

Quite true. I was just showing how the typecast would give you the same U8 array that the user was initially trying with the Byte Array to String function.
