How can you get the index of an enum instead of the value of the enum?

[JimJamBot]

Im new to labview and I am trying to read out the index of an enum oppose to the string value the enum has.

i.e. for example an enum of values 1, 5, 10, 20 with indexs 0,1,2,3  I want to take the index value to use in a code as a string,

so take the 0,1,2,3 values 

Are there any simple solutions?

Cheers,

It is already a number.

Try using a "to I32" or similar from the numeric palette.

Enums also have amazing feature when converting them to string:

If you wire it into Format into string and specify %d as formatting, it will be numeric string (0, 1, 2...). If you specify %s, it will be string you see on block diagram (1, 5, 10, 20) in your case
