Select tool and escape characters in string

[Jim_Glanz]

I would like to select a directory path using the select functions. The string is terminated at the position of the backslash,

Example "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games"  will become "c:"

How do I get around this

Thank you

You do not show what the Select function is wired to and what is doing the truncating. Obviously the select function is not doing any truncating. Instead of strings, use the path constant for paths.

Thanks for the help, It was the indicator that was truncating the line.

Sorry for the questions but I am very new to labview, it is much different than CVI
