String Use the String functions to concatenate two or more strings, extract a subset of strings from a string, convert data into strings, and format a string for use in a word processing or spreadsheet application. Returns in length the number of characters (bytes) in string.

Evaluates all numbers in string as ASCII codes for characters. This function does not affect non-alphabetic characters. Use the Flatten/Unflatten String functions to flatten and unflatten LabVIEW data types to and from strings. Use this constant to supply a constant text string to the block diagram.

Assuming a string "Test String", the letters are in positions as follows: Now extact substring from offset 5 to position 7 (Length 3): Substring = S t r 5 6 7 In Java, for example, you can easily do this using the code below: String str = "Test String"; String subString = str.substring (5,7); Is there no simple function to do this in LabVIEW?
