File

MGI Append Text to File

Append "Text" to the file at "Path". Note: This VI opens and closes the specified file each time it is called.

MGI Create Directory Chain

This VI creates any non-existant folders in "Path". The "Auto Detect" setting of "File Presence" searches for a '.' in the name. In this mode a top level folder with a '.' won't get created and a file without an extension will get created as a folder.

MGI Default ini Path

This VI constructs a standardized configuration file path in either MyDocuments or All Users\Documents depending on "All Users?".

MGI Replace File Extension

This VI creates replaces the file extension on "Path In" with "New Extension."

MGI File Dialog Merge VI

Merge VI for dropping a File Dialog primitive (which does not show up on the palette in LabVIEW 8.0 and later when it is only available through an express VI.)

MGI Windows Folder Path

Return the path of the specified Windows folder. Calls SHGetFolderPathA routine in shell32.dll to determine the answer.

MGI Open Explorer Window

Open a Windows Explorer window to the specified file's directory and select the file. If the path specifies a directory, then the explorer window is opened to that directory, unless "Select Directory?" is true, in which case the explorer window is opened to the parent directory and the specified directory is selected.
