Saving & Reading File Paths

[rclothier]

Does anyone know how to read in a file path variable saved in a file? I can read it in as a string variable, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to convert that into a file path. LV says you can format the Scan File to read path variables, but I haven't found the correct format string. Thanks.

In the advanced file functions, there is a string to path vi.

Using the format to string VI, I wired in a path, and the format string it created was %s, which leads me to believe there isn't a special format for paths.

Thanks! Works like a charm. I swear, I spent an hour going through their help files, and could not find that function. Thanks for the help.
