read files in a given folder and give a list of files with their folder name

[ccyang]

Dear all:

I need a help. I have hundreds of files in a certain folder, and need to read them one by one by a program. I use "List Folder" function to read the files, but the output has only the file name. The program requires each file with their folder name. Thank you very much for your help.

Hi ccyang,

why don't you you use the 'build path' function?
The folder name is given as input to 'List folder', the filenames are the output from 'List folder'.

Use 'Build Path' to create the full path to each file as I've shown in the picture. If these files are in subdirectories, you can use 'Recursive File List.vi' if you have LV 8.2 to get all the files in these directories including their paths. Come to think of it, you could just use the recursive VI to get all the paths even if there aren't any subdirectories.
