Property loading an empty array

[hans17]

Hi Antonio,

I am using TestStand 4.0.1.  Your suggestion does look like it would work.  Unfortunately, my array made up of containers which contain 8 fields, one of which is an array of 10 numbers.  There are currently 20 items in the main array.  The resulting XML formatted file contains one long string and is not very nice to read in a text editor.  Manually editting this file would be difficult and error prone compared to editing the existing text property file which has each property element and value on its own line in an easily readable form.  The XML tags create clutter all around the property names and values that I need to edit correctly.  This is too time consuming and risky for me to implement on my current project.

Hopefully NI will still follow thru with the suggested improvement for non XML property loader files.

Thanks again,

Hans

Hans,

You might try using an XML editor to try to make the code easier to edit.  XML Notepad is a decent (and free) possibility.  Hopefully this might help out immediately since any changes to TestStand might take some time.
