Set the count of that File Read to -1 to read all of the lines.  Then you don't need the Open File, While Loop, or the Close File.

I don't know, where are you stuck... in the replies to this thread, people have suggested you the different ways that you can use to complete your code... moreover people have given you code snippets that you can directly use...!!
I'm wondering, where exactly you're stuck. Can you share what you did so far...??

Well you may try writing a small peice of code (prototype) just to read multiple files and then can think of merging it to your main code...!!

The code you are showing on the picture is not good and makes no sense. SInce you only have a 1D array of files, all you need is a single loop. Your inner FOR loop makes no sense, especially since it repeats the same operation N times on the same file, where N is the number of files. SInce you close the file at the end of each iteration, but don't open it again, reading will fail except once. Typically you would use "build array" to concatenate arrays. What is the point of the case structure, it always executes the same case.

Instead of showing pictures, attach your actual VI so we ca better see what you are doing. I think it could be simplified dramatically while fixing your problems at the same time. You already got several pretty good suggestions above, so I am not sure why you are posting such meaningless code.
