If I understand the problem correctly, you have a string of text with the
various desired substrings separated by commas and you are trying to parse
out the substrings. If that is the task, try using the Match Pattern vi.
Use a constant "," as the "regular expression", feed the full string into
the "string" input. The output "before substring" will be the first
substring (the start date). Feed the output "after substring" to the
"string" input of a second Match Pattern vi (similarly wired with a "," to
the "regular expression"). The "before substring" output of this second
Match Pattern vi will have the second substring (the stop date). Continue
this pattern until all substrings are retrieved. (For a cleaner
implementation, you could put a single Match Pattern vi
in a while loop
testing for string length of the "after substring" output going to zero as
the exit criteria and feed the "before substring" to an output tunnel of the
while loop. This would give an array of strings at the output tunnel.)
Hope this helps.
