String to Number conversion

[becidea]

I solved my problem

I used "Fract/Exp string to number". with false boolean wired to "use system decimal point" input and I get correct result.

I do not think that +0,054847-3 is one of the available numeric formats.  It will come out 5.4847E-5.

You can get the comma as decimal separator by checking "Use Localized Decimal Separator" under Options >> Front Panel: General.

If you use scientific notation it will adjust so that a non-zero digit is to the decimal separator.  You can force the exponent to be a multiple of 3 (engineering notation) by using %^f in the format string (54.847E-6).  You can place a + in front of the number by the format string +%^f, but then negative numbers are displayed as +-54.847E-6.  Similarly, the E for exponent is always there.

You can convert the number back to a string and display it any way you wish.  For the display format you have described, that may be your only option.

Hey,

I couldn't solve my problem even if I said I solved:(

my string values as a format are like +5.456E-3 or like -5.456E-3. When I conversed I want to the same. But unfortunately not??

I tried many ways. one of them is %,;%f gives me -5,456E-3. But I need "." instead of ",".

Under Tools >> Options.. >> Front Panel is Use Localized Decimal Point checked?  That sets the format of numeric indicators.

Dear Lynn,

Yes, it is checked.

[johnsold]

Try unchecking it.  If the convention is to use the comma as the decimal separator in your country, having that box checked will cause the numeric controls and indicators to use the comma.  With it unchecked, I think it uses the dot.  You may need to restart LabVIEW to make the change take effect.
