specifying file name

[jlivermore]

How do I specify a file name when using the Read Binary File vi? It looks like I would use the file (use dialog) input to specify the path and file name. How do I do this exactly? TIA.

You need to type the full path name, for example:

C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\File.txt

Or what I usually do is have the following

Constant -  " C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\ "

Control - Input the file name

Constant - " .txt " 

Then I concatenate those strings and convert to file path.

That way, you don't have to remember the full file path, just the name of the file.

Thanks, Kory...I'll use your suggestion.
