removing delimiters

[smercurio_fc]

What part of altenbach's instructions do you not understand? I'll reiterate them, separating them out, if that helps:

1. Place your cursor on the wire that comes out of the TCP/IP Read function. Right-click on the wire and select Create->Constant in the popup menu.
2. Run your VI.
3. Right-click on the indicator that you created in step 1 and select "Change to Constant" from the pop. You will get a constant with the string that was received from TCP/IP. You will also get a broken wire. Ignore it.
4. Keep this VI open. Create a new VI.
5. Drag the constant that was created in step 3 and drop it onto the block diagram of the new VI.
6. Save the new VI.
7. Upload the new VI.

That's it.

To learn more about LabVIEW it is recommended that you go through the tutorial and look over the material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials.

Thanks, altenbach.

That just might have made things worse for exo.

Thanks. Being able to see the delimiters help made it easy. I could apply smercurio_fc vi which worked. Now however, I have to add another vi to reformat the number string to less digits. My original method doesn't seem so bad anymore.

Regarding not trying what you have said before. I didn't read it carefully enough.
thanks again
