You does realise that you're only making it worse for yourself, and that you will pay dearly for that next Monday, right?

That'd be my approach, but you also need to consider datatypes where an obvious "I-don't-contain-anything-useful-yet"value doesn't exist - eg: the Boolean. ...and that's why I think this can't work generically. Personally, I think that having default values for all data items is dumbing down OO too much. If you have a target userbase that doesn't understand that they need to write a value to a data item before they can read it (eg: I'm talking about you creating and distributing a class) then you need to wrap it and impliment your own layer between the user and the class.

Yep - that file structure isn't going to work with the LabVIEW read primative. Have a look at the LabXML toolkit, as justin.goeres suggested.

Bring it on b%&ch!

I know you're all expecting it, so I shan't dissapoint you: very droll Aristos, very droll

I sure hope not!

See now you're just freakin' with my mind!!!

:laugh: + Great quote Ben, although I know Aristos has a sense of humour: how could anyone on LAVA survive without one?

Fair enough Are you going to bookmark this thread and come back to explain when you're in a less tired state? Perhaps a morning after not spending all night on 6th street? Ok - so my half an hour was a little over the top, but my time on clean start is closer to 45 seconds than your kick-arse 13, and that's on a pretty good machine - the time it takes on some of our older lab machines is even slower. I was thinking that maybe I have more toolkits installed than you do, but I'm not sure that's the case. I did a little experimentation, and although the 8.0 load is much slower than the 8.20 load (kudos to the NI team for the change) :thumbup: , the search is much quicker.

I had a little time on my hands this morning, so I've rewritten some of your code with a couple of suggestions to save a little memory and boost performance. I don't have the NXT toolkit installed, so I don't suggest that my code will work perfectly (if at all ), but hopefully it'll introduce you to a couple of techniques...

:laugh: I just spat a mouthful of tea over my monitors! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

Yeah - pity language localisation rarely includes English English (although, I have to admit, Aussie English is a little different to English English at times). You're right - I could have used the search function (if I had a spare half an hour to wait for the results )

:laugh:

NI: Is it at all possible to get a copy of it back in its origianl position under numeric>contants? After all, all it really is is a numeric constant...

Heeeeeey - thanks guys! I knew that I hung around LAVA for a reason

Maybe it's early dimentia but I *think* I mentioned this before: where did the colour constant go? It used to be on the constants palette under the numeric palette, but it's been missing since LabVIEw 8.0. NI: may I have it back pleeeeeeeeease?

Me too - one of the guys at work took a bunch of us to a jazz club downtown called Bert's Marketplace last week (one of the many benefits of living near Detroit) - it was open mic night and it was phenomenal!

:thumbup: Good luck!

Are you reading an XML file that was created using LabVIEW? The XML components of LabVIEW are only really good for reading/writing the LabVIEW XML schema, so trying to read files written using a different schema probably won't work. Can you attach a copy of the XML file you're trying to read?

Crikey - that's a lot closer than I expected

:laugh: I don't think you'll see much - it'll be recognisable, but the ASCII equivalents are way up there in the basic page (all between F0 and FF if I'm not mistaken?)

Disco lives on through samples. Here's a recent chart-topper using the very same one we're talking about...

Yes they do, but I'm not convinced that's what oliver is trying to do here. :thumbup: That's my understanding as well.
