Your array constant that you've wired in there is only size 1x1 and For loops iterate the lowest number of times that they can. So your N might be 3, but it will only loop once because your auto-indexed array only has 1 value to index through.

Just do this:

Thanks for the reply, sorry but i didn't understand very well .... is my first time with labview after many year.

I have change the code for a better implementation but i have a problem to create an array of string, i don't understand the component that you have used in the solution proposed. I attached the new software.

Thanks for your time!

Ok, i have found the solution. If i connect the two components in the image i obtain an error, pressing the right button of the mouse and selecting built array i have solved!!

Thanks

If you have LabVIEW 2014 or newer, you can drag the image (snippet) that I included above directly to your block diagram, FYI.

Please mark the solution for this topic so that others can better find the solution matching their needs.

I HIGHLY suggest you look in to the training links I included above. They will help you get a better grasp of how to use LabVIEW and save you time in the end.
