delimiter specifies the value or values used to separate fields in the spreadsheet file. The default is a single tab character. You can specify multiple delimiters by wiring an array of strings to delimiter. Each element of the array should contain a different delimiter. For example, if you wire an array that contains two elements — a space character in one and a tab character in the other — the function allows either a space character or a tab character to separate elements in the output array. |
|
format string specifies how to convert the spreadsheet string into an array. Use %s to convert spreadsheet string to an array of strings. Use %d or %f to convert spreadsheet string to an array of numbers. Use the format string syntax. |
|
spreadsheet string contains numeric or string values separated into columns by delimiters, such as tabs or commas, with an end-of-line (EOL) character separating rows. The function converts each element in spreadsheet string according to format string and stores the resulting values in array. |
 |
array type is the data type input for the array. The default is a 2D array of double-precision, floating-point numbers. Refer to Array To Spreadsheet String for information about the spreadsheet format expected for arrays of three dimensions or more. |
 |
array is spreadsheet string converted to an array of the dimension and representation of array type. |
Refer to the Tab-Delimited Data.lvproj in the labview\examples\File IO\Spreadsheet\Tab-Delimited Data directory for an example of using the Spreadsheet String To Array function.
