Getting row and column of an array element

[hkhiroya]

Hi,

I have an array of 24 rows and 24 column giving me a total of 576 elements. How do I get the row and column of a particular element in an array in LabView. E.g. If I have to write to element 127 how do I get the column and row in which element 127 is located.

Regards,

Harshil

Hi Harshil,

you can use the "search  1D Array" function inside a for loop. Connect your 2D array to the loop and then to the search function. If the search result is not equal to -1 then you have found a result. The result of the search function gives you the column and the "i" connector of the for loop the row.

Another option would be to first reshape your 2D array to 1d and search inside of it. If you have the result, you can recalculate it to column and row.

Hi Harshil,

maybe you only need to find the correct "address" of the element in your 2D array?

Use something like this:

Maybe you have to switch Row&Column output according to your numbering scheme...

This will give you the row that you want.

I didn't think to add this, here you can find the column and row.
