erase text file

[FredFred]

Is there a way to erase a text file automatically when labVIEW begins a vi? Or instead of erase, replace the text file?

There's the Delete function on the File I/O>Advanced palette. To replace a file, use Open/Create/Replace File function. This is on the File I/O palette.

Yes, you can (1) delete a file, (2) write an empty string to it so it is empty, or (3) simply start overwriting at position zero.

What do you mean by "replace the text file"? Replace with what? Replace the file or replace the content of the file?

Explain in a few more words exactly what you want to do. 🙂

I wanted to replace the content of a file.
Thanks, but i have already figured this out.
