well i have some control strings, like Name,surname,
date of birth and date. with this strings i would like
to genrate session id that takes date in yymmdd format,then first two alphabets of surname,then name, then date of birth. so which lab view functions should i use for that ?

fais,

Please create the VI you are talking about and save some default data into all of the controls. Also on the front panel, place the session ID that should be generated by that data. Now, post your VI to a response so I can download it. I can then take this VI and help you create the functionality. (Please post what version of LabVIEW you are using.)

My guess it that you are going to need to use a good number of string concatenations as well as a few string indexes to get parts of strings out. As for the date, you can use a Property node with the Numeric Text.Text property to get the actual string displayed on the front panel for the date and parse out the parts that you want.
