String to DBL with decimal power

[sVeNvAeTh]

I have to convert a string in a DBL. That is no problem, but the string uses decimal power,

like 1.54 E+02.

Now, I get the right value, but it only shows 1.54 and not the decimal power.

What is the mistake?

The white space before the exponent is the problem... LabVIEW needs 1.54E+02. There are numerous ways of solving this. You could for example use "search and replace string " and replace '/sE+' by 'E+'.

i tried it, but it doesnt work. i still see the space between 1.54 and E+01.

i insert a search an replace string and on left i put in the result string, the '/sE+' and the 'E+'.

Try searching for " ", and replace this with "" (without the qoutes).

The search string "\s" (notice backslash), is the \-code view of a space character (To view any string in LabVIEW as \-code, right click on the string and select "\"-codes display)

You should also wire the "Replace All" terminal with a TRUE constant, to get rid of all spaces.

Good luck
