Popular Post Autodefenestrator Posted December 18, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 So I wanted to make a VIM that was essentially "Convert input into 1D string array". If you passed it a 1D array of anything it would convert each element to strings (similar to the debug VIM that ships), but passing in any scalar would do assorted things depending on the scalar (single item array for things like numerics, but a Path would split into each component, and different methods for other types). I thought it would be a good idea to have an option that if an enum is passed it, the array passed out would be the list of all of the options converted to strings. They way to get this is "Get Numeric Information" on the Data Type Parsing palette, but it uses a Variant input and therefore allows any input. And there was no "Assert enum" on the "Assert Type" palette. So, I've made one: It seems to work with every data type I can think of, because I don't know what besides an enum is a valid input both for a %s input to a "format string" node, and can also be an input for the "split number" node. I was wondering if anyone else can think of anything that is a valid "%s" conversion (like string, path, VISA reference, assorted DAQmx references) that is also valid for "split number". I am hoping to avoid discovering a data type later on that I didn't think of that also accepts this case and breaks "Get Numeric Information". Assert Any Enum Type.vim 5 Quote Link to comment
