How to copy a particular array value from front panel while running the VI

[Karthikeyan_Mathiyalagan]

Hai friends i am doing my project . so i need ur help!!!!!!!!!

[ShotSimon]

In my front panels I tend to make concatenated strings instead of arrays.  You will be able to copy and paste the values in the string control of this attached vi.

There may be an advanced copy option I'm not aware of.  It's also easy to save to a text file in this format.

Good luck with your project.  SS

Not sure how that answers the original question...

To copy the element (assuming you're trying to paste it into some other application, like Notepad), you do it the same way you copy just about anything else. Simply double-click in the element to select the contents, then select Edit->Copy, or press Control-C. The contents of the array are now on the clipboard, which you can paste someplace else.

I was assuming he is trying to copy the whole array...doing this element by element is very time consuming.  With a concatenated string you can copy all elements with ctrl-c and ctrl-p.  SS

That's still not the right way to copy array data. To copy the entire array, right-click on the array and select Data Operations -> Copy Data. To set a start/stop selection, one would use the Advanced -> Start Selection and Advanced -> End Selection menu items from the right-click popup.

Hi!
  The solution you suggests works only inside LabView, not, for example, with notepad.  You need some button that copy data to system clipboard, but I don't know which is the LV function for doing this...

   Let us know some more details about what you're trying to do!

   Have a nice day!
