Array of String ? For "Coppy column to array (DTI)"

[vincentBsef]

Hello,

 

I want to copy the first column of my DTI in an array. The column type is STRING-ASCII.

But it seems i canot create an array of STRING.

I am right, or i am missing somthing ?

I'm starting to thing that a STRING, is alreay a kind of array.

 

Thank you.

I checked it and you are right - Array is not an option for for the String tag type.

I would do it the hard way and make a large Buffer array and manually track my string locations.  I realize this is a PITA, but you have to work with the tools you have.

Thank you for your answer.

I got around the problem by getting my information another way. I read line by line, and test the cell with the string, line by line.

It works.

If you are are looking for a value in the table you can use find DTI Column Value.

Not sure if that's what you mean with line by line.

Hi Swervomotor.

Thank you for the answer

I'll see it will help.

In fact, I can't use this block for the purpose I required.
Because I also have to count the number of previous lines that do not contain the STRING, in addition to noting the line number (from bottom to top).
But, I need it for another use, in which... this is exactly what ... I need.

So, that's cool.

It is very handy, also Find DTI Column Value outputs the row number (F). If the value was "2" and the rows start at "0" that would mean it checked n=n before it found the value and n+1 when if found the value.

Yes. Tat's clever.  Have to admit : hadn't thought of that.

But i need to start at the end. And, i have to exclude the empty lines before.

Excluding empty row is checking for zero (in one specifique cell that canot be 0 if not empty). So, Find DTI Column won't work.

But one the first unempty row find, using that block is lighter, smarter. Must be folow by a sub, though.

I will keep it the way i wrote. 

But I already used this since I read your answer

And i probably should have do it before.
