Owning Palette: Utilities

Requirements: Quanser Rapid Control Prototyping Toolkit, LabVIEW 2020 or newer

Description

Returns the index of the string in the possible values array that matches the input string. If no match is found then the default value is output. The matches indicator shows whether a match was found or not.

Required Inputs All required inputs must be wired. They appear in bold text in the context help window for the VI.

possible values is an array of strings to which the string input is compared.

Recommended Inputs Recommended inputs need not be wired. They appear as simple text in the context help window for the VI.

string is the input being compared to the possible values.

default value is the value to output if no match is found. This input defaults to zero if left unconnected.

Outputs

	match is `true` if the input string matched one of the possible values. Otherwise it is `false.`
	value is the first index in the possible values array that matches the input string.

Details

This VI returns the index of the string in the possible values array that matches the input string. The possible values array is a required input and should not be an empty array. If no match is found then the default value is output. The matches indicator shows whether a match was found or not.

If the possible values input is an empty array, then an empty string will be treated as a match. If string is not empty then it will not be treated as a match and the default value will be output.

Feedthrough Behaviour

All input/output pairs of this function have direct feedthrough behaviour.
