string to function call

[alte]

I would like to call any function from an external source command string such as:

example : "anyfunc(2.3,5.5,"hello");

How can I do this in CVI? It should be able to call any external module functions as well.

You can't do this for a statically linked function. The only way to work around this would be to set up a lookup table for the function name that would give you the function pointer, but dealing with arguments could be complicated.

If you are calling this function in a DLL, then you can use GetProcAddress on the function name to retrieve a function pointer, then call it with that pointer.
