insert 2D array columns into 2D array (with different size)

[Ludis@Ludisnet]

 Hello,

how to simply add columns in a 2D table (in a 2D table of different size : smaller)?

e.g : same as output array 1 , but with result output array 2 :

Thanks.

Labview does not support ragged arrays. All rows or columns have to be the same length.

If course you could simply format it into a table and use empty strings in places where you don't want to see anything.

Is a lot of code for a small function ..... right? (output array 3 excepted)

That seems really convoluted. I would just initialize a 2D array of strings at the final rectangular size, then use "replace array subset" to place the two arrays.

This is another work around.

Good luck.

Here's what I had in mind.

Of course you could also use the matrix size to ge the various dimensions. 😄

That first "reshape array" is actually not needed. The following is equivalent. Try it!

My earlier version has significantly fewer buffer allocations, so it might be more efficient for large arrays (not tested).

Hello,

Thanks for replyes,

I like last solution (little function & fewer buffer) , but if i build 2x2D array, you have 3D table ??? (how do you do ?)

Thanks

Hi Ludovic,

right-click the BuildArray and set "concatenate inputs" mode…

@PAnand:

Why do you need to convert an array to a cluster to simply INDEX the elements?
