You can try the following functions-
fopen(filename,mode); -to create a new file
LaunchExecutable ("notepad.exe filename"); - to open the file

Hope this helps

If the content of the file is to be created by the CVI program (such as test results, configuration information and so on), you can use the following instructions:

fH = OpenFile ("filename.txt", VAL_WRITE_ONLY, VAL_APPEND, VAL_ASCII);
// Create the string to be written to the file
WriteLine (fH, string, -1);
CloseFile (fH);

Or, if you don't want to write line-by-line, you can use WriteFile (fH, string, strlen (string));
When you want to intruce a linefeed in the file you must write a "\n" to it.

Hope this helps
