Resolving Symbolic Paths Programmatically in LV 8.5

Hello,

 

I make use of a user-specified path variable in labview, and many of the VIs I use expect an absolute path. I'd like to be able to resolve symbolic paths programmatically in LabVIEW 8.5. I found this page showing a private Resolve Symbolic Path  method, but can't seem to locate it within the "invoke method" node. Beyond that, I've dug up surprisingly little on how to do this exactly.

 

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

Can you describe in a little more detail what you are trying to do, give us a "case". Are you running in development mode or in an .exe? That too makes a difference how LabVIEW calculates relative paths.

The method is a private method. 

 

If you need this function, see this LAVA post for a version of the VI you see in the LabVIEW wiki page.
