scan from string error

[chazzchuzz]

I'm trying to extract xyz coordinates from a very large file.  However, every so often, there is a z coordinate with the phrase NO DATA instead of a value like so:

Is there any way to filter these out?

Any help would be much appreciated.  Here is a snapshot of my VI, it seems to be working for files without errors.

You don't need to unbundle the error cluster in LabVIEW 2012.  The NOT function will take in the error cluster just fine.

Oh, yeah - oops. I tried wiring the error directly to the conditional and it didn't work (and the logic was backwards), so I dropped the unbundle in there.

How do I make the tunnel out of the for loop conditional?

[crossrulz]

It is new to LabVIEW 2012.  But you right-click on the tunnel and check Tunnel Mode->Conditional.

Is there any way to do it in the 2011 version?

Error case just feeds the array through unchanged.

[chazzchuzz]

Okay thanks I figured that out.  Doesn't that assigns the default value of 0 to the cluster when there is an error?  Is there any way to just omit the terms with errors?

[Todd_Lesher]

That omits the terms with errors. In the Error case, the output array is not modified.
