Hi all, Here's my trivial problem. I receive a text file and amongst other data manipulation I need to reverse the date. At present it is in the form dd/mm/yy and I need it in yy/mm/dd. I think I am close but am not too sure where to go. I have attached the vi (Version6i) that I have been trying to use. Can someone please help me? Ridge
Hi Ian, Your VI is very helpful, but I need the string before and after the date included in the output, this was my major falling point initially. I have tried to include a match pattern statement on the after string to only get the last string (ie Binary), and then concatenating that with the before string and the date but the output is still incorrect. Can you help? Thanks
Yes, Thankyou, it is almost perfect, I just followed your process and wired the before substring to the format string function as well and it returns the entire string as it was with the date reversed. Thanks. Just a quick question. Why do you need the wait function - is this so that the second loop will not execute until the first loop is completed? Thanks for your time and effort Ridge
:)) well... you may just delete it. I have it there to monitor the outputs of each loop, make sure that every each line is process correctly, since no delay is too fast for my naked eyes.
