Evaluate boolean expression stored in a string

[twols]

Hello guys!

 

Is it possible to parse and evaluate a boolean expression stored in a string with standard LV VIs? I can't find anything..

 

Expression like this one: 1==2 && (2!=5 || 2 > 5)

 

I'm building a configuration xml-file with if-attributes for conditions:

 

<item name="xyz" if="{namespace:variable} == 3" />

The first step is replacing the variables within {} with actual values. This is the easy part. The hard part is to evaluate the results...

I'm not sure there is something that will evaluate that exactly, however look in the Mathematics->Scripts & Formulas->1D & 2D Evaluation pallet.

Here's a post on Lava that mentions how to do it in Python (never tried it)

Also it links to an NI site where another method can be used.
