Breaking up a string

[mmhloh]

Hi,

The data obtained from my multimeter using GPIB returns a string consisting
of +NOHM108.379. I would like to break this string and only retained the
108.379. Can someone help?

Hi

"From Exponential/Fract/Eng" is what you're looking for. This can be found
in the "Additional String to Number Functions" sub-palette of the "String"
palette.

If the string consistently has NOMH at the beginning you can use the 'Match
Pattern' function found in the string section, search for NOMH, and then
use the output 'after substring' for your data. Another alternative (if
there is always 5 characters before your data) is to use the 'string subset'
function and set the offset.
