App Developer Advanced String Functions and Text[2]

[stefan.erni]

Hi Ben

There is a nice new component: Advanced String Functions and the "old" Text[2d].

both together can display a lot of data easily and quickly. Convert entire integer array at once. Excellent.

A little problem with the font with the siz of "-" or " " space in the Text[2d].

So in the Display the number are jumping around what is not so nice to see.

Is there a font with proportional size or a way to set it?

regards


Stefan


In the text[2D] there are a lot of fonts but I did not found a perfect one

the negativ integer use different space than positive numbers

or space is much smaller then the number

I think the easiest way is to use a fixed-width font like "Courier New". There could be others, e.g. "Comic Sans" and "Lucida Sans Typewriter".

Hi Steve

Thanks a lot. Yes "Courier New" and "Lucida Sans Typewriter" Font works perfect in the Text[2D].

Hi Ben

There is a simple way to save many integer data arrays to an excel file quickly and easily with the App Developer and the Component" Advanced String Functions". Maybe you could add a parameter "end with new line". But in the menue the answer is only yes or no. If yes then you add "\r\n".
to the string.

I don't know if the string length is necessary, I just did it
here the program:

FC10_string_test_csv.fcsx

In this way you can also write a data file, then simply remove the conversion and write the data array into the file and change the extension from .csv to .mfc, for example

Add "End with new line" ...
