String functions
There are a few different forum questions and feature requests that I think would be possible to solve if we had added some string handling functions, for example comparison of text channel values:
http://forum.iqan.se/topics/1006-any-way-to-store-serial-number/
http://forum.iqan.se/topics/403-convert-machine-id-to-numbers/
,string concatenation:

and conversion from integer to text
http://forum.iqan.se/topics/863-ascii-characters-from-j1939-parameter/
Anyone else who thinks this could be a good idea?

Great ideas,
I also would like the ability to have an Array of text or being able to extract text from a file. This is for primarily for error handling. I have devices with a very large number of possible errors. More than what the state machine can handle (+ it is not very flexible).
I can sort my error or create Error log by number but then customer has to find code in instruction manual.
So the idea would be to be able to display a text based on an index. If the Error file was external then it could be easier to deal with and may not tax the memory? A Spreadsheet could be ideal thus allowing us to maintain the different languages or at least two dimensional array.
As a comment on this post, in IQANscript does have text compare.
