convert 1D array to 2D array

[kourte]

Hello everyone,

In this topic http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Find-position/td-p/2059690 I have create a 1D array of string.

But no I would like convert this 1D array of string to 2D array of string.

I have try a for loop with inside a Build Array but in output it's a 1D ...

Do you have any idea?

Thanks

I have try too a same idea of "read from spreadheet file.vi" because for my 2D array I would like \t for delimiter.

Already answered in your original post.

For others: Build Array.

I have no idea what you are saying here. Is this a question, or a follow-up comment?

Hi,

You can use Build Array (array pallete) to convert the 1D array to 2-D. You'll have to remember to wire an array constant (string in this case) to the second input of the Build Array VI.

No you don't.  You can resize the node to 1 input.

Hye everybody,

thanks for your answers but I would like a tab for delimiter with the 2D array.

Just to clearify with an example:

You currently have:

    "a\tb\tc","d\te\tf"

and you want to convert to:

   "a","b","c"

   "d","e","f"

???

Hye,

yes.

I have for example this 

06/11/2012\tCheckout\t...

and I would like the 2D array as in the  picture

Hi kourte,

use SpreadsheetStringToArray to convert a single string. Use a FOR loop to convert an 1D array of strings, which will yield in a 2D array...
