[Mihike]

Hello!

I need example, how can I save cluster to Registry after read back? Aught possible this.

Before I save this cluster to ini file, but I want save that to reg.

Can you help me?

You can use the "flatten to string" resp. "unflatten to string" vis to convert your cluster to a string. This string can be written to the registry with the normal registry-operations implemented in LabVIEW. You can read back your string and then convert it to a cluster by providing the desired data type to the "unflatten to string"-vi. In the example, only the conversion is shown, not the registry access! Hope this helps,

 

Greetings,

Christian

Yes you help me!  Thanks.

But I have one question yet.

Can i give Path and file name to registry? e.g C:\LVREG\option.reg or some similar.

If I understand you right, you want to import a .reg file to the registry? Yeah, that's possible...look at the page

http://www.eolsoft.com/freeware/registry_jumper/regedit_switches.htm

There, the command line switches of the tool "regedit" are explained. You can call regedit from LabVIEW with the appropriate switches (i. e. your filename).

No it's not certain.

I would like that, if i save cluster I can give file name( saves.reg ) and path ( c:\LVSaves\ ), where I can find the file easy and open it, as if you make ini file or txt file.

I would like if the file escalation has *.reg

Hello.

I have an other question. How can i save numeric value to registry? Becouse if Numeric value's 1,5673, then in the registry i  can find 2, or i get -601 errors. So how can i save the accurate value?

Please help me.

One possibility is the same way as Christian proposed for clusters: flatten the floating point number to a string and store the string in the registry.

For numbers, instead of flattening it might be nicer to format a number into a string (see string/number conversion palette) so the value is human readable.

Hope this helps

I made it with number to decimal string and decimal string to number first, but then if numeric value=the 0,23 then in registry 0 appear.

After i tryed flatten and unfletten but then I didn't read back real data from the registry.

Would you be able to attach a plain example possibly? with one of the methods.

Becouse may be, that I configuration something badly.

Number to decimal string cuts the digits. Use "Number to fractional string" or to engineering or exponential string, whatever fits your needs best.

Thank you for much!!

works perfectly with number to fractional string.

Thanks!
