How do I append data and sequence numbers to a *.csv file name?

[diarmaede]

All,

I am looking for an easy way to build a filename with the data and time included, as well as a sequential number between 1 and 999 in the following format:

C:\TestDirectory\test_11-08-25_1551_1301_001.csv

I have looked at using the Express function "Write to Measurement File" but I cannot see an easy way to include column headers as text into the output file.  Maybe someone could show me how to do that?

Or, someone could point me toward another function that allows me to date and serialize the file name.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I could code all this the old-fashioned, manual way, but I would rather find out if LabVIEW has built in functions that do this first.

Thanks!

Thanks!  That is similar to the "Brute Force" method I used.  If there are no built-in functions, I will keep using your method!

Cheers!
