String>Time Conversion


Recommended Posts

Often people read text data which includes a date\time.

Currently, there is no inherent function in LV for converting a time string to a timestamp.

The suggestion is to have a VI, basically a reverse VI to Format Date\Time String, which will convert a date\time string to a LV timestamp based on a LV format string.

In LabVIEW 8 and later there is a better way to scan a string into a time. Use the "scan from string" primitive with a format string such as "%.3T" or "%<%H:%M:%S %m/%d/%Y>T". LabVIEW help has more information about format strings for time. See the topic "Format Specifier Examples" for more information.

Granted, it still would be nice for a Scan time string function in LabVIEW. However, with the above feature, it would be easy to make.
