Folder's path

[vane]

HI,

I have 2 Vi (in 2 different computer) that they comunicate with 4 shared folders.

I want to create the absolute path for the folders because I want to search, write and move files from a folder to another one.

Can you help me?

Thanks

Hi Vane,

I am not to sure I really understand what your question is here, could you exand it a bit please.

Are you running the LabVIEW development environment on both the PC's ? and you just want a method for both VI's to know the absolute path to these shared folder is ?

Could you use an UNC path of the form \\ComputerName\SharedFolder\Resource

Something like:

 \\192.168.1.1\LabVIEW\temp.txt

 \\192.168.1.1\LabVIEW\temp.txt

I think you can also do

 \\ComputerName\LabVIEW\temp.txt

192.168.1.1 is a local network address which might change.

If you have assigned a drive letter for a network drive, why not using this?

If you're looking to convert a drive-letter type path into the universal path name (UNC), I've written a VI to do this:
