[Jalashwa]

Hello everyone,

i am  a beginner in LabVIEW and i was browsing throught the BUILD PATH function in the FILE I/O section of the Functions Palettte.

i just cant figure out the need for the function, why cant i use just one file path 

Thanks in advance

You should try using the LabVIEW help documents:  http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/glang/build_path/

Per documentation:  "Creates a new path by appending a name (or relative path) to an existing path."
