Replacing Data in File

[accelerator_operator]

I am writing a vi in which a data file needs to be replaced each time the vi is run. I'm using the "Write Characters To File vi" but a dialogue box keeps appearing saying, "Replace Existing filename.txt." I thought if I wired a False constant to "Append To File?", the vi would automatically replace the previous data in the file, is this correct? I do not want the user to have to click on "Replace."

Thank you.

Two possible options:

1) Delete the file before you replace it

2) Break into "Write Characters to File.vi" and write your own version where "General Error Handler.vi" has "no dialog" as the "type of dialog" input.

Cat,

Thank you for your suggestions. I went with # 2 and it seems to work best for my problem.

Thanks again.
