Error 5 "file already open"

[daro]

HI,

I'm trying to read a text file and based on some condition I need to delete the file. The problem is that sometimes I received the error 5 "File already open" and I don't know why, I close the file after so I have no idea why it could be still open.

Thanks for your help.

Wire the error in & out of the "Close" vi. Then have the "error out" wired to your Case structure. This way you'll be sure the file is closed properly before you try to delete it.

EDIT: You could also use the "path" output from the Close vi. This will ensure dataflow happens the way you want it to happen.

As a tip;

always wire your error cluster even if u feel its not important.
