Separating multiline strings

[ananda]

Hey Folks,

I am trying to separate a multiline string into a array to strings where each element is the one line of the original string. I have included the vi. Please let me know what's wrong with it.

Set your delimiter string to '\'-codes Display (right-click ...), then enter "\n". (or set to hex display and enter 0A)

You currently have your delimiter set to the two character string "\n" (normal display or 5C6E in hex), which never occurs in your input.

I have tried all that. Could you please modify the program and post it here? I would really appreciate that.

Thanks a lot.

Here you go!

Remember that a linefeed character is invisible in normal display. After you set the diagram constant containing \n to '\'-codes display, it will contain "\\n", to escape the special meaning. You need to delete one of the "\".
