just what part of the write to measurement function did you wire the element to ? if it is to the comments, my problems would have gone a complete 360 and i would be where i initially started. thanks though. the real issue is that my supervisor doesn't like the switch i put in to place.
my real question is how does labview recognize that i pushed the enter/return key on teh keyboard. i convert my strings into "/" form, hex form, dec form. it appears that it is only in the "/" form does any string indicator actually show that it recognizes the enter key by showing a "/n". i was thinking of trying to convert the string i type into "/" form, look at the last two characters, and see if they equal to "/n". that is the part i was really stuck on.
of course, even if i figured out how to do that, i still would have to figure out how to then erase the string i typed for later text.
i think i will just put that problem in the back of my to do list right now.
