flatten to xml from variant

[MWieland]

I have problems with flattening variant data to xml-strings. I tried to make an application to save variant data to xml-files, but the vi "flatten to xml" didn't solve always the same solution. The bug don't occur always and i tried alot to show it. The vi produce sometimes not finished xml-strings. I attached a vi, witch shows the bug on my computer every time.

Thanks for help, Mathis Wieland

A couple things.

(1) it appears that this has been fixed in 7.0. I reproduced your problem in 6.1 but not in 7.0 (All testing done on WinXP).

(2) OpenG has a Flatten/Unflatten to/from XML tool that is written entirely in G. You can find more information here:

OpenG.org : EXAMPLE - OpenG Flatten to XML

I installed OpenG toolbox and OpenG Flatten to XML, the error with changing results is fixed, but this vi can't make variants to a xml-string, as well it has problems with the value fo refnums.

Yours sincerely

Mathis,

Refnums (especially VISA/DAQ/IVI refnums) are tricky. We'll work on it. I have generated a feature request. You can track progress here:
