Manipulating array

[Zepiii]

Hi,

Sorry for the non accurate title, but it was difficult to really explain it better.

I would like to realise this in a for loop :

I'm so lost when I have to manipulate these arrays !

Thanks you for help,

Sébastien

This is an interesting problem.  See if this does the job for you.

Ooow, sorry, I forgot to precise that "Xa1,..." are in fact a number, I just wanted to give the representation of it to see where each goes after the manipulation.

Strings.  Numbers.  Who cares?  The array manipulation is the same.  Just change the representation inside of the array to whatever data format you need.

I know, however I thought that "for the intersting part", u meant it was because it was letters :). I was wrong.

I tried your method, but in the small for loop, I can't get the same icon than you for the array.

Here is my attached VI.

Thank you,

I used Index Array where you used Array Subset.  And then use the autoindexing on the output tunnel of the inner loop.

Thank you.
People on this forum are just amazing !

It works!

It amazes me that you got a reasonable answer, because your question is not clear at all. 😄

• Why the arbitrary restriction that it has to be done in a for loop?
• "would like to extract this" is unclear. What is "this"? Extract cells C4-E4? Extract columns C-E? Extract Row 4?
• What do you mean by extract? Keeping only the extracted part or keep everything except the extracted part (or both)?
• Is this a table or a 2D array?

Well, english isn't my mother tongue, sorry about that... Crossrulz perfectly understood my question, so just open the VI I attached and you will have the answer to all your questions 🙂

About the for loop, I wasn't sure about it, but it was not necessary. But at the moment, I'm working in a for loop, and this is a small part of it, so I prefer to ask to do it a for loop, in case of...

Ha.  I didn't event notice that line in the original post.

At least the OP gave a before and after of what they wanted.  That's the only reason I had a clue about what to do.
