TPC - MatchRegExpEfficient is a missing VI or C file

[JChec]

Hi,

I'm creating quite an involved system which includes a touch panel (2106T). I need 2 .exes for displaying. One for a PC and one for the touch panel. Code would be exactly the same. So after developing the software for the PC, I moved a duplicate VI over to the Touch panel device. Tried to build it and got the build error "MatchRegExpEfficient is a missing VI or C file". What does this refer to?

The display software for the touch panel is not complex. It uses a state diagram and TCP VIs along with some basic string palette VIs and Array palette VIs. The only front panel objects are a table, a string control, a numeric control, an LED indicator and a button. 

I am using Labview 2010 and the Touch Panel module 2010.

Thanks in advance,

Jevon

Jevon:

Can you post a screen shot of the error?

It sounds like there's a ghost dependency issue of some sort. You might try deleting the "match regular expression" functions, saving, closing, reopening, and adding those functions back into your VI.

Thanks for the response Caleb,

I have deleted the function match regular expression from the string palette. When I went to add the function back in though, I've noticed it doesn't exist in the string palette menu for Touch Panels.

I'll have to find a work around and will post back when my application builds.

Thanks,

Jevon

The work around was quite simple. It does build. So its just the case that the Touch panel doesn't support all the VIs from the string palette.

Thanks!

Heh. Funny thing that, I'd never actually noticed those weren't supported. I guess I've never needed those functions on a touch panel before.

Between the "additional string functions" palette and the "search and replace string" functions, it sounds like you were able to get a good workaround in place. Let me know if you still have issues with that workaround.
