create automatically a directory

[alexum]

Hi all,

This is what i'd like to do:

Before running a data acquisition, i'd like to enter as input in a user interface

the date and then, when i would start the acquisition, it would create automatically a directory

which the name would contain the date value in order all my result files would be put inside.

Do you know if a such thing is possible in labview ? Is it more convenient to run under Linux

or windows ?

Thank you a lot in advance!

Cheers,

Alexis

See image. This function will do it. What operating system are you running? Why do you ask about Linux and Windows?

Hi, thanks for your answer. This function seems good to create a new directory, but

by this way i have to fill it as a command...

What i would like to do is to create automatically a directiory name like that

principalpath_DATE with principalpath which is a constant chain and DATE would be a chain that

i would fill in an other field on the user interface...

Is it possible to interact like that ?

I was asking the question about OS because i didn't yet choose if i'm going to use Linux or Windows, i have

seen on documentation that Labview under Linux can understand the UNIX shell commands and so could be very useful...?

you can create first you time string like in this example.

Convert Time in string

and then use the build path function.

This method should work at both OS
