Expose the "read raw string" input of Read Key(path).vi

Status: New

As shown in this discussion, the [path] version of the polymorphic "Read Key" VI lacks the "read raw string" input of the [string] version.

To properly read certain raw UNC paths (e.g. \\a\b\c), this input should also be exposed on the [path] version of the polymorphic VI.

 

(The change is trivial and is just a matter of exposing this input of the [string] version that is used inside the [path] version to the connector pane of the [path] version..)

Great idea.  Then we would not have to type double backslashes all over the place.

Of course the same should also apply to the "write key" sibling.
