help Labview XML-->string

[zuzu]

Hello everyone

I'm a beginner in Labview and i have a problem of the conversion XML-->string :headbang:

In fact, i have a file XML that i consider as a table of strings, i have to get the information stocked in the last line of this file, just before </LVData>. The longer of the XML file isn't fixed. Could you help me with this problem? Thanks a lot :worship:

Welcome to LAVA!

I don't know much about xml, but I guess your file looks something like this:

<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes' ?>

<LVData>

<Version>8.2</Version>

<Array>

<Name></Name>

<Dimsize>0</Dimsize>

<String>

<Name></Name>

<Val></Val>

</String>

</Array>

Is this the line you want?

</LVData>

So, to get your line of data, can't you just search for </LVData> and take the line before that. Example:

Of course, this can as always be done more efficient, but this works.

Thanks for your answer, thols

I have a problem with your solution : the function "Research an expression" waits for a string but my file XML is a table of strings, so the types of data aren't compatible...

However, i found another solution after lots of tests :

File XML --> Function "length of a table" --> length -1 --> Function "To Index a table" with index 'length-1' for the last line, the output of "To Index a table" is the data that i have to save...

Thanks again :thumbup:
