LabVIEW
What is the best way to build a filepath that can be variable?
When building an application I am having trouble with Labview finding a text file the program needs.
What is the best way to build a filepath that can be variable?
I have done this and it works in the development environment but does not work for application I have built.
When comiled to an exe, Labview compiler adds an extra folder layer, the name of the vi. So you have to strip path twice:

Tbob,
Your diagram comment is incorrect!
as VI: c:\DIR1\File1.vi
as exe: c:\Dir1\Appname.exe\File1.vi
Where appname.exe is the name of the executable. 🙂
"What is the best way to build a filepath that can be variable?"
This is the best way to achieve what you want. 
See the attached VI in 7.1.
Do the further building of the path for the .txt file from the output here.
