If you know how to process one file, take that VI, put it inside a loop and pass in an array of file paths.

To be more exact, use a FOR loop with autoindexing turned on for you array of files.

Great!! You managed to read one file.. Now the same code you might need to repeat in a For loop... Well everyone is suggesting the same and that's the only way (for repetitive work, it needs to be done in a loop).

You also need the array of file paths, and very importantly you need to learn the concept of Auto Indexing.

Can u attach your VI?  That image is to small to see anything....

Post your vi instead of an image.

You can right click the 'Read from Text File' function and select 'Read Lines'. Refer to below code snippet.
