Matching pairs in an array

[Bill Symonds]

Hi

Is there a quick way of scanning an array for matching pairs of values?

1) Sort the array.
2) compare current with previous in a loop.
3) Keep iterating until you are happy.

If you need to keep your data ordered, just iterate from 0-end of array and run a "search 1d array" command on it.

This is much less efficient than sorting/iterative search, but it preserves array order.

You can use the Equal vi to accomplish this. Attached is a simple vi in which you can input a number to search if the number repeat in the array. It should be fairly easy to modify this vi to suit your need.
