How can I display the name of my refnum on the front panel?

[Michael_Fidler]

I am writing data to a file. To do this, I am using "Open/Create/Replace File" to prompt the user for a filename, which is then output to my VI as a refnum. I then write strings to this file with "Write to Text File".

How can I display this filename (with the path) on the front panel after the user has input it?

Use the Refnum to Path function, in File I/O -> Advanced File Functions palette. You can wire this to a path indicator.
