What is the use of the build path function ?

[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:  https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/labview-api-ref/page/functions/build-path.html

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