Converts characters at the beginning of string to the data type represented by default, according to the conversion codes in format string, and returns the converted number in value and the remainder of string after the match in output string. The connector pane displays the default data types for this polymorphic function.
![]() |
string is the input string the function scans. |
![]() |
format string is the string to search for in string. Use the format string syntax. |
![]() |
default is the numeric representation for value. The default is a double-precision, floating-point value of 0. |
![]() |
output string is the remaining characters in string after the match or string if there is no match. |
![]() |
value is the converted value or the value in default if there is no match. If value is an integer, it may overflow if the input is out-of-range. In that case, value is set to the maximum or minimum value for the data type. For example, if the input string is 300 and the data type is a signed 8-bit integer, LabVIEW sets the value to 127. |
