creating multiple files

How would I go about creating multiple files this way?
I would like to use the Open/Create/Replace.vi to prompt a user to enter a filename. After the user enter the filename there are several files that are created as a variant of that file. For example if the user enters a filename TRIP, I have three file created that are called TRIP_a, TRIP_b, TRIP_c.

Try using the "new file" function under the advanced file i/o palette. Once you execute the Open Create Replace function take the file path the user entered and convert it to a string, append the letter you want and place this path into the new file function. You can do this multiple times and append a different letter each time. Hope this helps.
