Obtain Array from an XML file with Multiple Arrays

[dlovell]

Hi,

So I have been struggling with this program I am making for the last few months but I am almost there. I have a program that creates multiple arrays and place them one after another in an xml file and each array has its own unique name. Now I would like to create a VI that takes this XML file and when the user inputs the specific array name they are looking for it goes into the xml file finds the entire array under that name and displays it in an output indictor to be viewed on the VI. Attached is a sample of my xml file and the VI that creates this xml file.

Thanks,

dlovell

Something like this should work for you.

Here is a slightly different version. The one above reads from a file. This is how you would read from an already loaded XML string.

There is a VI in the LabVIEW examples that is very similar to the two VIs posted by Steve Chandler.

Hey Steve,

So I am trying to test your VI you created but I can't get it to work. Are you suppose to put the location of the xml file in the "XML String"? No matter what I put into the XML String portion I can't get past the error "Invoke Node in Find Array.vi"

Thanks,

Hey  Steve,

Never mind I figured it out... Thanks I can't wait to apply this to my program!!
