Hi Joe, Thanks again for reply. Yes, I am afraid MI's are not available. I also use quite a lot of the XI's. In order to make my app work I would need the ability to indirectly address strings. In extent a reverse function of said "library string to ascii" function. In this way I could use a vector of Mi's containing ASCII characters and write these into a position in the String Library as needed. I could perhaps free up MI's by creating termporary Data Tables to store my working values (each scan), but I am uncertain if this is a good solution. It will create a lot of DataTable writes pr. second! BR Northbound

Hi! Really appreciate the fast reply! Not exactly what I was looking for though... Basically I want my alarm texts and item descriptions to be possible to edit from the HMI (1040). I do not have enough MI or XI registers to map all texts indirectly using the string library function. (I have around 100 entries, each max 40chars). I am using the Data Tables copy vector to row in order to update texts in my Data Tables after the user has chenged something, however I would also like to do something similar with data stored in the String Library. Any ways to modify strings in library using vector/pointers to strings from ladder (vs. pointing strings to MI/XI/DW)? Any more ideas? BR Northbound

Hi, I am currently working on a project in which I need to write to the Sting Library from the application. I have found the function "Library String to ASCII" (STR TO VEC) to be useful for reading values OUT of the library, however, after the ASCII has been edited I need to write it back to the String Library. Anyone with some good ideas!? New feature suggestion? What I would be looking for is a "VEC TO STR" function. I will use the function to (occasionally) mirror text contents in Data Tables with String Libraries. BR Northbound
