how to get & display a file name

[wankyu]

I have built a Labview program for opening and analyzing a data file, and then saving the resulting file. Now I want to display file names (with paths) on the front panel. How can I do this?

Hi,
all file VIs have "file path" input and/or output. Just right-click on this input/output node, which you use to work with your file, and select "Create->Indicator" from pop-up menu. The file path indicator will apear on the front panel. This is what you want.

Good luck.
