Hi jeyanthi,

you can write your own function to copy the file. Open both files and copy one file to the other. Use the binary functions for it. In you while loop you can then insert a slider which shows the current position.

LabVIEW:  File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS, and / on Linux.

when did this error occur? Did you try to copy the file step by step?

Do you want to copy one file or all files from a folder?

Here is an example with a for loop.

let say i have a text file in E:\  read.txt i want to copy it to c:\ how to do tht..erm

Hi jeyanthi,

i think you can only show a slider with relative correct position if you copy the file byte by byte. See the attached example.
Hope it helps.
