repeat string in a for loop

[Raul6128]

Hi there,

I am new to Labview, and have been stuck on a problem for a while, would anybody kindly help me out please?

Here is the question, I need to repeat a string in a for loop. let's say the iteration number N is 20, I would like the output from the for loop is

1, 2, 3 , ..., 9 , 10, 1, 2, 3 , ..., 9 , 10.

Thanks very much for your help!

Regards,

Raul

Hi Raul,

according to the given example I would program this pseudocode:

FOR i := 0 to 19
  string[i] := num2string( modulo( i; 10) + 1)
NEXT

Remember: creating an array from a loop is easily done by utilizing AutoIndexing…

Using LabVIEW you can also create this code:

FOR i:= 0 to 19
  a[i] := i
NEXT
a[] := modulo( a[]; 10) +1
stringarray[] := num2string( a[] )
string := Array2SpreadsheetString( a[] )

Thanks,GerdW!

I was thinking if there is a easy way to do that, like using the I in the for loop, it automatically gives number from 1 to 20, I just need to repeat the first half out it.

Hi Raul,

it automatically gives number from 1 to 20, I just need to repeat the first half out it.

Why not the other way around: create just half amount of those numbers and use BuildArray (or ConcatString) to use those values twice?

"Programming" most often has to do with being able to abstract a problem to develop an algorithm… 😄

Thanks! The problem has been solved by concatenating the output from the for loop.

Cheers,
