How to read several text files at a time

[dec04009]

Dear all
 
      Read and write one text file is not a problem, but  what confusies me is how to read several text files at one time, in the meanwhile,
 
is it possible to display the name of the text file?
 
For example, assuming I want to load file" cha 1, cha 2 , cha 3, " at one time and show their names, how to hadle with it
 
I have reviewed some files and it is not helpful

To Make it simple, you can always use multiple file read VI's

And for displaying the text file name, do as shown in this VI attached

[bartb]

for displaying the file name you can also use the strip path function...

Thank you for replying.

But I do not konw where can I find the multiple file read VI's.

In the meanwhile, I download a .llb, it seems good

Hey Barb, the strip file is a better option indeed, sometimes i miss out the obvious.

Once i had a requirement, where I had used that logic for getting both file name and file type.

Back to dec04009's query, you just have to use multiple 'open, read and close' VI's sequences and assign individual file names to each open file VI.

Either with a 'for' loop like in the lib you have attached, or like this attached VI

that's it
