Here is another interesting  one , but mine is different.
My idea relates more specifically to the growable capability.
maybe combine both ?

If this did get implemented, the trailing slashes in your picture would not be needed, just like they aren't today in Build Path.

@AristosQueue : "If this did get implemented, the trailing slashes in your picture would not be needed, just like they aren't today in Build Path."

 

indeed, You're right !

To expand on this idea: BuildPath should accept an array of strings (or paths) too…

It should probably be pointed out that LV already has a primitive called Array of Strings to Path, which does cover the basic functionality of this idea, although not with the same syntax.

If implemented, the companion Strip Path function should also allow be "growable".

Now is the right time to use %^<%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%3uZ>T
If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.

I like it, this wold be very useful and clean.

I like it!  like autoindexing a path to string array both ways!  We have the ability to code the stuff nativily but, this is one where NI R&D might be able to add more "bullet-proofness" than the general population.

With some other changes to Build Path now "In Beta", any thought of progressing this idea as well? It would make sense to implement a growable node for both Build Path and Strip Path.

@GregSands No. It actually did come up in discussion this round, but, ultimately, we decided we had other priorities.
