VariantConfig suggestion....

[Swinarsky, DJ D. (5. @ I. <d.s...@L-...>]

I have just used the Read Section Cluster VI and have a question.  I am
using it to read in configuration information for my VI and some of the
configuration items are not mandatory.  Obviously this causes a problem
because it returns found?=false if ANY are missing.  In this case where some
of the items are optional it would be better to send found?=false when ALL
items are missing.  This is an easy change by just adding a parameter that
will swap the 'AND Array Elements' with an 'OR Array Elements'.  I have made
the change on my computer and am wondering if anyone else thinks that is a
relevant change to make?
 
Let me know if it is and where/who I need to upload the altered VI...
 
Thanks,
Derrick

Derrik,
 
Thanks for the offer to help.  The DLL is the workhorse of this package and
that's what's left to be developed.  Rolf has done all of the work on the
DLL, so far, and Ian has contributed some feedback based on his experience
with pipes.  There are still a few loose ends as far as whether to go
through Win32 API or msvcrt for the pipe calls.

Well...  I didn't even see the pipes VIs and I have an application that
needs the same functionality.  I don't mind helping out with these, but need
to know what is/isn't working...  I have downloaded all the VIs and in the
pipes directory under cvs as well as the dll.  I do not have Visual C++ so I
won't be much help with the dll (though I do have cygwin if it can make the
dlls?).

Hello All,
 
Someone just started a thread in the LAVA forum called "System Exec With
Interaction?"
 
"I need to launch and control an existing commandline app from Labview. By
this I mean I need to be able to read it's STDOUT and send things to STDIN
while it is actually running..."

It looks like we might already have a good potential user base for the pipe
package :-)
