empty line

[Alvarion_Israel]

Hello,

I have a 2d array (string) that has alot of empty lines, how can i delete the empty lines?

i have tried doing as you can see in the attached  vi but its takeing alot of time and if i will try to use the "empty array?" comp he will not see the empty strings as empty array.

can it be done better?

Can you sort them first?  Sort then find first empty element then you can delete the rest.

Regular sort can work only with 1D arrays

I use a 2D sort I fond on NI's site.  Here is a few:

Post what you want sorted.  Should be fast.

You need to set the data as defult (Edit -> Make current Value Default) before saving the VI.  You posted an empty array.

The data you posted is empty.  You forgot to save the value as default.
