string tokens

[JulesG]

Hello, I have a string that looks something like "cmd_name cmd_arg" where the "cmd_name" is separated from "cmd_arg" by a space character. Is there a quick way in TestStand to separate the entire command string into substrings tokens and using the space character as a delimiter, similar to the strtok() function in C++?

This is really a job for a code module in your programming language of choice such as LabVIEW, C#, C, or C++.

However, if you want to keep it all in TestStand, the following statement step will extract cmd_arg into Locals.Token:

Locals.Expression = Engine.NewExpression(),

Locals.Expression.AsExpression.Text = "cmd_name cmd_arg",

Locals.Expression.AsExpression.Tokenize(0, 0),

Locals.Expression.AsExpression.GetToken(1, 0 /*unused*/, 0 /* unused */, 0 /* unused */, Locals.Token)

you'll need to create Locals.Expression as a reference and Locals.Token as a string.
