extracting text from an indicator

[kylo40]

I'm pretty new to labview still, been developing a database tool for logging and reading information in multiple excel sheets.

One of its functions is to read information from excel, I have some string indicators set up to view the information, and I have a bunch of strings set so we can write the information in also.

what I wana do is when I read information and view it on the indicators it will auto fill that information into my strings so I can quickly add or modify what is in that specific line without to much effort.

I am having a newbie moment and I forgot how this is done. Can someone helps? I am on 2017 version

When you wire your data to the string indicators you can also wire the same data to locals of those string controls…
