Not to Prompt to have file replaced

[shplinky]

I have a program where i need a file to ALWAYS be replaced and i don't want the user to make the mistake of not replacing it... therefore, how can i do it so that if the file exists it automatically replaces it without prompting the user? the file has extension txt...

Many of the File I/O vi's have a node for Dialog which you can set to False. Make sure you do a Save As... w/ a different vi name for any modification of standard vi's.

For example, using the Write to Spreadsheet.vi, wire false to the Open/Create/Replace.vi Advisory dialog node as shown in the LV 6.1 example attached.

Use a sequence of "New file", "Write file" and "Close file". "New file" can overwrite the file no matter what (set overwrite=true).
