concatenate strings vi

Thanks. However I am using LV6.0. Could you convert it to 6.0? If not, can you could convert it to 7.0? I can then ask a friend of mine to convert it to 6.0.

Sorry I don't have 6.0, but I have attached a picture of the block diagram.  To convert the waveform data into a string, you must use the Get Waveform Components function found in the Functions - Waveform palette, and select Y as the element.  This produces an array of Y values.  Then the Array to Spreadsheet String can be used to convert the entire array into a string, which is concatenated with the header.  Then, one file write does it all.

You may not need 6.  If you have 7.0, you can do File -> Save with Options, then select the previous version.  Unfortunately you cannot go back more than one version (e.g., 7.1 cannot save to 6, only 7.0).

Joe:  I just thought it would be easier and give him/her (for you Lynn) some practice at building a block diagram if I were to give a picture of the diagram.  Otherwise, I would have to save to 7.0, and labview1958 would have to convert to 6.1 and then again to 6.0.
 
Here is a picture illustrating Mike Porter's suggestion on using Format Into String instead of Concatenate.  It does look neater.
