Overview

Coding that exemplifies how compare two strings with the ability of ignoring a specific character.

 

Description

This code will compare both strings to verify if they are equal in size. If they are, then we compare each character of both string controls to verify if they are equal. If they are not, we still have the option to verify if one of the strings' character is the one we might ignore. It at any moment the characters don't match, the VI will stop with an off LED.


Requirements

LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code
1. Insert two strings
2. Select the character that can be ignored
3. Run the VI

It saves me a lot of time to figure out how to use * to represent all characters.

Thank you very much.
