How do I search inside an array of cluster?

[iCat]

I have a cluster that holds a string control and a DBL control.

An array consists of that cluster.

The array looks like the lines below.

"min" 3.55

"max" 10.33

"average" 7.33

How can I extract the value of "min" without having to inspect every element of that array in my LabVIEW code?

In C, C++, and java, there is "map", but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent to map in LabVIEW.

You can take the reference of the cluster and find which control is having the name "min" and can extract the value. See the attached example.

Good luck
