Displaying data in an variant tree

[John Lokanis]

Anyone have a good way of converting a variant tree into something displayable/log-able without writing some massive recursive function? (using 8.6.1, so no native recursion for me unless I use VI Server tricks)

I need to dump the status of my tree to a log file for debug purposes. The tree is just an empty variant with attributes that have attributes that have attributes...

thanks,

Implement recursion by using a stack (not too difficult and faster than native recursion and much faster than VI Server recursion). Propably you'd like to have it saved as xml so you can read it with SW like excel.

I did post some stuff for reverse order (xml to tree) on the dark side. At the end of the thread I show some code.

Well since LabVIEW 8.5 you can create recursive functions, so that shouldn't be an issue.

thanks guys. I got this to work and was able to find a brand new bug (at least to me) in 8.6.1. See my other post on the Get Variant Attribute function.
