[Bug?] Comparing 2 different variants they result as if equal

[Fra7]

Hi everybody,

I have read a bug report about this happening in LV 8.6 when extracting array subset.

I am on LV 8.5.1 and I am not using the subset function, rather the 'delete portion'.

I cannot reproduce this behavior out of this structure. I read the i-th element from the deleted portion and compare it with variant in a shift register.

The probes (see picture) show as the variant in the present iteration have different values: in fact, I am comparing 'TRYTRYTRY' against 'OP10_1_Valore_1_M1' and they are found equal.

Variant tutorial at http://www.ni.com/white-paper/4998/en says:

"

Two variants are equal when they meet the following requirements:
--They have the same data type.
--They have the same value.
--They have the same named attributes. (The attributes can be in any order.)

"

But I am clearly comparing variants with different values.

I tried flattening to string the two data, but two empty strings are returned, with identical result.

Data is coming from an SQL query.

Anybody has hints? Thank you in advance

HI,

I tries to reproduce the problem with Labview 2011 but all works fine. Could you update the software to solve the problem? 

Kind regards,

Enzo

Hi Enzo,

I solved converting variants to string at each iteration (not through "flatten" but "variant to data") in the cycle, i.e., what I wanted to avoid since I don't really need the value. Anyway, I could do what I needed to.

Thank you
