Thanks for submitting this example, rcpacini. There is another way to achieve this task that is quite a bit simpler. You can call the following VI:

vi.lib\Utility\lvfile.llb\Get File Type.vi

This VI accomplishes the same task as your VI, without loading the target VI into memory. Get File Type.vi also executes faster than parsing the connector pane data type.

This VI, along with many others, is available in Quick Drop/palettes when you install my Hidden Gems package. Just search for 'hidden gems' in VIPM.
