array to cluster -> to many elements

[Martin Mohr]

Hello,

i am quite a beginner with labview. I use version 7.

I have a one-dimensional array that i've built with Build Array and a
Feedback Node. I convert this array to a cluster with Array To Cluster.
The cluster always contains 9 elements, even if the list contained only
one. Why is that?

Thank you!
Martin

Right click on the Array to Cluster node and select cluster size option at
the bottom of the pop-up menu. This will let you resize the cluster
according to the size of your array.

Thank you for your answer. But i need to do this on run-time. The
array's size varies. Can't the cluster just contain as many elements as
the array it was construced of?

I believe that i don't understand some very basic point in labview. I
was also trying to create simple list strcutures like
((a,b,c),(d),(e,f)) with various combinations of clusters and arrays and
i didn't arrive. What is the proper way to do so?

I usually code perl where such data structures are the most basic principle.

Thanks,
Martin

You can't programmatically change the cluster size used in the 'Array
to Cluster' function. Perhaps the function that would serve you is
'Build Cluster Array'.
