My array element is a text string. I would prefer a non fixed length array display since my array length may change, but a large enough fixed length array would probably work. Since, you know LabVIEW I will explain a little more about what I am doing. I actually use LV now for a project that I would like to convert to RR. I store simple comma delimited plain text files on disk that are read into my current LV program. By simply selecting different text data files I of course get different array elements in my program. My current text files are a little more complicated in that I actually read text files into an LV cluster with first element true/false control and second element string, however I wanted to see if RR could do the more simple array first before tackling the harder "cluster" project. You know, I am probably looking for something similar to the Revolution Tutorial setup but I want to have each tutorial number card be an object on a card rather than the card itself. I also want to see more than one tutorial number card at a time. I will have to look into how I can do this. Or maybe what I am looking to do might be best performed by setting up a database. If any of the above makes any sense, I would appreciate your input. Michael PS If you are wondering why I am converting a working LV project to RR, it is simply that RR better meets my long range needs and the current LV project needs a number of techniques that I know will be useful down the RR road. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
