Open or create file doesn't allow creation of file
As I said, we need the VI containing whatever you entered as default data in the path control. The rest we can leave or delete, does not matter. You can even paste that path control into a new VI and attach it here. That's all we need.

No default path is require if you click the little path icon, you will recieve a browser window that you can browse to your own path. Because many people tend to enjoy using MS Default My Documents directory and it's path is variable by user, i.e. C:\Users\YourUserNameHere\Documents, then having a default directory would be counter productive. If you must have one here is one with C:\
You will have to learn to use probes (or add indicators)to see the data flowing. You will also have to watch in light bulb mode to see things like "My stop button does not work!"
Compare this code to yours and see if you can spot the diffrences and explain to yourself "why".

That was a request for troubleshooting not a suggested general modification for the UI. Obviously something is different on your machine and we suspected that maybe the path as entered contains unusual characters or similar. What is your OS language? Maybe something is corrupted. Do you have a diffferent computer to try? Did you do an AV/malware scan?
In any case, here's all that should be needed on a regular computer. There should be no need to jump through flaming hoops with case structures and irrelevant path operations.
Note: If you want to append to an existing files, you might want to set the file position before the loop. Alternatively, you might want to clear the file. Currently it will overwrite from the beginning, which is probably not desirable. Modify as needed.

You can be sure we know how to browse for a path. So there must be another reason we ask for the exact path in the control that you are using. That reason is because there is obviously something going wrong with your path, either syntax, strange whitespace, or something else. Your code additions are unnecessary. If they do fix the problem, then they must be altering the path somehow.
Add indicators like this, and check to see if the paths and/or strings differ from each other at all. Right-click the string indicator and select "/" display to look at the whitespace. Ideally, you will give us this code with the deafult value set to your used value (whether it's your local machine path or not, we can still see what's going on).
