Clearing the Array elements - Completely

[PadmanabanJ]

Hi,

I'm unable to clear the 2 dimensional array element using Data operations method.
Please fix the issue.

Data Operations->Empty Array

Edit: Right-click on the Index Display to get that context menu.

Your array is empty if one or more dimensions is empty so you don't really have a problems.

Still, to correctly clear an array, you need to click on the array container (border) or the index terminal (not on an array element!) and "right-click...data operation...empty array".

Even quicker, just grab one of the grayed element and drag it outside the container to the diagram. Now grab it again and move it back. 😄

Hi,

I'm inserting array of empty elements into empty array. But my resultant array was not empty!
My For loop executes depending on inserted array size.

Expected output - 0 but it executes 5 times

Hi Padmanaban,

But my resultant array was not empty!

Wrong!

LabVIEW says "it's empty!"

("Leer" is German word for "empty".)

We had this discussion just last week: even when there are rows (6 in your case) you don't have any columns in your 2D array making it (technically) empty…

This is by design.  Here are plenty of threads to read through for explanations:

For loop Auto Index should not index empty array

Array size of empty array - bug

DELETE EMPTY ROWS FROM A 2D ARRAY

WTF: Constant has properties?

If I insert array of empty elements into an empty array, my resultant array was empty array but For loop iterates depends on number of empty elements inserted!
Please fix this LabVIEW bug in future versions.

Read the links I gave earlier.  This is NOT a bug.

As Tim said, this is not a bug. The current behavior is in fact desirable and there is nothing to fix but your own code. 😄 You need to be aware of this feature and code accordingly.
