Get Date/Time String to Array

[MrSafe]

Hi,

I can't seem to solve this problem alone dispite my many attempts.

I used the function Get Date/Time String to retrieve the current Date and Time off the PC. The vi attached complishes this without a problem.

My problem is I would like to take each element in the string

i.e: Hour Min Sec and have them then an array. So the array would like look like this [1]Hour [2]Min [3]Sec.

I can not accomplish this. I am not sure how this would work, would I have to search for a specific portion of the string then have a counter increment to the next element I would like in the array?

This board is for Feedback with issues about the NI forums themselves.

You want to post your question in the LabVIEW board.

Also, your VI isn't really doing anything.  Please try to do a little more with your VI so we can see where you are having a problem.  It sounds like you want a combination of parsing the string using the appropriate string functions and Build Array.

Sorry must have clicked on the wrong section. My apologies.

Here are a few possibilities. The upper one has the advantage that it uses a 24 hour clock, the lower two currently lose AM/PM info.

We really need more information on what you really want.

That is exactly what I wanted. I wanted to be able to break up the Hour Minute and Seconds up into individual elements.

I tried the unbundled function before however, I was prompted with the messege "output does not match the input". I will give it another go. I will also try to move this thread some how to the appropriate  section.

Thank You.
