Convert Array of char to string

Hi, I'm trying to convert Array of char to string, this block could work for this case?  thanks

smiffy

The following code will produce a block that will do it for you.
You connect the DB_PTR input to the DB that contains your characters (note: it must point to the whole DB not to the first or any other characters within the DB).
The string will then be outputted on the STR output. Note, it is limited to a maximum string length of 254 characters. Hope it works for you, regards, Smiffy.

VAR_INPUT
DB_PTR : ANY;
END_VAR

VAR_OUTPUT
STR : STRING[254];
pSTR AT STR : ARRAY[1..254] OF BYTE;
END_VAR

VAR_TEMP

RetVal : INT;
pSRC : ANY; // DB address ANY pointer - used for accessing DB data

pAnySRC AT pSRC :
STRUCT // Diassembled ANY pointer structure
S7Code : BYTE; // Code for S7 (fixed at 16#10)
DataType : BYTE; // Code for data type
Length : INT; // Repetition factor = Send/receive length
DBNumber : INT; // Data block Number
MemoryArea : BYTE; // Specified memory area
ByteAddressMSB : BYTE; // Byte address most significant bits
ByteAddressLSB : WORD; // Byte address least significant bits
END_STRUCT;
END_VAR

pSRC := DB_PTR;
pSTR[2] := INT_TO_BYTE(pAnySRC.Length);
RetVal := BLKMOV(SRCBLK := pSRC, DSTBLK := STR);
