iteration through a 2D array and break out of the loop when condition is met

[mikecolonna]

Hi,

I will be thankful if somebody could help me to write a program which would step through the rows of a 2D array and at a first element in the row smaller than a given number it will increment the counter and jump to the next row. After having gone through whole array, the counter will indicate the number of the rows meeting the verification condition.

You can use nested for loops with a shift register. If you right click on the inner one, select 'Conditional Terminal'. Just like a while loop,you can terminate it this way and still make use of the autoindexing. The outer for loop indexes by rows and the inner will index by element.

Find attached 'Conditional Counter' (VI snippet).

Edited: Its worth knowing the concept of 'Auto Indexing'

That does not work since it only looks at element 0 in each row. As I understand the requirement, it should look at all elements in a row but only count a row once if multiple conditions exist.

Ohhh I considered checking only the first (zero indexed) element to be checked and then move on to the next row.

I prefer doing these things with a comparrison and an Or Array Elements
