How to read the file name from local directory using TestStand ?

[Preeti_Udapudi]

Hello All,

I need to create a sequence in TestStand(2019-32 bit) which can read a file name xyz.lvlib (LabVIEW library file name) from the local C directory in my PC and store it in a variable. Then I want to take user input (type string) by configuring buttons in message pop up step and compare the user input with the stored variable that is the library file name. 

So my first question is how to read the file name from local C directory?

and the second question is how to compare the output state of message pop up(when the user selects a button) with a stored variable ?

Your inputs are very much welcomed.

Thanks in advance!

please checkout my picture.

those 2 functions can help you from LabView and you just make TestStand to record the LabView's Output.

but I do recommend the 1 functions, it do separate the files list and folders list.
