I am not sure what you are trying to do from your example or your problem statement. Can you post a longer explaination along with what version of LabVIEW you are using?
Here is my guess from what you have provided. You want to read in an entire file except for the first line of the file. Is this correct? If so, then what you are doing in the example is fine. Once you read the entire file in, then search for the first newline character and delete all of the characters before that point using the string functions.
