What is the name of this function?

Good afternoon,

I came across a post describing how to read a file line by line with a single function, but there were no attached VIs and I could not find this function anywhere in labview

Can someone please tell me what the name of the function in the center is?

 Thank you

There is no need for this function; the Read from Text File function provides the same functionality. Right-click it to change from reading characters to reading lines.

That function is how we did it before LabVIEW 8.  NI did a massive upgrade to the File IO functions with the release of LabVIEW 8.0.  So you can now just use the Read From Text File function, right-click on it and check the Read Lines.

Too bad there isn't also a good replacement for:

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2012\vi.lib\Utility\file.llb\Write Characters to File.vi
