[akath]

hi,

In my application iam asking user to enter the file name for storing a graph thru FileSelectPopup command.

I want to give system date and time as the default file name,how can i do that?

i got the system time and date thru GetSysDate and GetSysTime.

thanks for the answer.

The CVI help for FileSelectPopup() suggests that, if the defaultFileSpec parameter is set to a filename, then this name will appear in the name box.

The following creates a file names "probexxxxonYYYYMMDD.dat"

where:
File_Name is a string
 the xxxx is a serial number
on just makes it read better
YYYY is the year
MM is the month
DD is the day of the month.
You should be able to modify it to suit your needs.


      sprintf( File_Name, "Probe%09don%04i%02i%02i.dat",
           CP_ID_Num, Date_Rec.Year, Date_Rec.Month, Date_Rec.Date);
     
       
      //open a file for writing diagnostics
      My_File = fopen( File_Name, "w" );
