I agree. If he had thin skin he would have quit posting early on after some of the comments.I don't think it's bashing, and I don't get the sense that Krispiekream feels he's being bashed. I just wanted to give an "attaboy" and to keep working on improving the code.

 . It makes me just wonder, do you guys work for NI to answer the forum? it seems like NO MATER WHAT QUESTION, there will be someone to answer them. i thought that its your full time JOB to answer questions like this because i do noticed someone even answer posts at night, on the weekends. Even when i get home at night, i check my email and i noticed someone is working LATE to answer my post in the evening. Everyone is so damn nice to help out people with lots of questions. especially the noobee like myself.

If you're use pre LV8.x, then yes, you should have two Purple (more like pink) wires. One for the error cluster and the other for your data.
You last image looks better. 🙂

am i not doing it right?
In your original code, you concatenated a carriage return character at the end of the string. If you still need that (e.g. if the string goes to a device that expects it), you need to include that at the end of the format specifier. If this just goes to a single line indicator, you don't need it. If the string gets appended to a log fiile, for example, you want to make sure that each entry is on a new line. Just hit "enter" at the end of the format specifier to add a newline character. It all depends what you need.
