Hi Akash,

you are wrong here, as you are asking a LabVIEW Question, you shoul post it in the LaBVIEW section, not in the CVI section. Take care the next time 😉

Anyway, here to your question:

Ther is a VI, that can "translate"  a string into the file path type. You can find it in the function palette:

Programming >>> File I/O >>> Adv File Funcs >>> string to path

Attached you can find an example, that uses a user defined prefix and the date to generate the path and filename dynamically.

Hope this helps!
