Convert between String types ASCII / UTF-32

Hi all,

 

Anyway to convert between string types? 

 

I would like to store an ASCII string to Data Sampler/User Comment 1  string that is build as UTF-32. 

 

while compiling the app get an error: Data type mismatch.

 

 

Thanks in advanced,

For English characters and digits, the conversion is easy. Each byte in the ascii is being copied to the lower byte of the matching 4 bytes. (each byte is being padded with 3 "nulls").

You need use a buffer. Clear it first, iterate the ASCII string, and copy the character in index i to the buffer at offset i*4

Then use Buffer to tag in order to copy the result to a UTF32 tag.
