Format into string uses %s, %f, %d, and there is none of those in the input string.

I don't see how your inputs result in that output.

If you post the VI we could actually try ourselves!

BTW. If you wire a path to Read Text From File, you don't need the close. It doesn't hurt though. See the help:

"The default is to close the file if it is referenced by a file path or selected from the file dialog box. If file is a refnum or if you wire refnum out to another function, LabVIEW assumes that the file is still in use until you close it. "

Hi weibe , thanks for your response

Format into string I using %s , %d in original text file so you can see output result changed below the After text like 1.Send %s --> Send aaaa 

My question is from before changed the path in text like C:User\...  and "\" and some alphabet are gone …  I have no idea

I attached my VI at here

Ah, I was staring blinly at those red lines.

I assume a \ is used as an escape character by the Format Into String. A \n will become a line feed, a \s a space, etc. So the \ characters in the paths are replaced with bogus outputs.

Before using the format string input, you can try to replace each \ with a \\ (Search And Replace String) in that string. That will escape the \ character so the Format Into String outputs a \.

Hi weibe !

thanks for your reply , I think I figure out what's happening with \

I modified original text content which with \ and I changed it to \\ and it works !
