write file to current directory

[mstlaurent]

Hello,

What I want to do is very simple:
I want to write to a file in the current directory.

I'm using Write Characters To File.VI.
This VI needs a file path. I just want to specify the file name and I want the file to be written in the application's directory.
I have tried the current VI's path with the strip path but it returns the .llb path in that contains my VI.
I also tried the String to Path and the path constant but I cannot just enter the file name, I have to specify for exemple c:\mydir\myfile.txt, else I have the error "Error 1 occured at Open File
LabView: An input parameter is invalid"

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks a lot
Martin

If your VI is in an .llb, just using another strip path will return the directory.
