Suggestio for a work arround: Check the convertion real - string variants. If there some possibility that match with your necessity, convert the real variable in String and log it.

ACSmts Posts: 12 Rating: (2)	Thanks Pegaia for your screenshot. But I had already tried that. It is true that the output string assume the value of the real variable but when I download the datalog file there are some undesirable things that happens. I attached the datalog file and you can see (if you open with notepad++) that are many spaces between the string "real" value and another values. It is added a null character too in datalog file and I don't know why. Attachment groselha.zip (575 Downloads)

For example: mystring string[10] = 10chars long string mystring string = 254 char long string maybe seting a max size, you could overcome this "efect"
