Hi all,I need to add some (text) data to specific locations of an existing text file template and then rename the newly written file.The way it works, I need to read the contents of 8 different text files (data) and copy and paste those, to 8 specific locations of the template text file. I need to enter the new data from each data text file between the START_TABLE_C1and END_TABLE_C1 in the template file. Like this ... # Optional sectionSTART_TABLE_C2 END_TABLE_C2 # Optional sectionSTART_TABLE_C3 END_TABLE_C3 # Optional sectionSTART_TABLE_C4 END_TABLE_C4 START_TABLE_C5 END_TABLE_C5 # Optional sectionSTART_TABLE_C6 END_TABLE_C6 # Optional sectionSTART_TABLE_C7 END_TABLE_C7 # Optional sectionSTART_TABLE_C8 END_TABLE_C8 -------------------------------------------- So, the way I approached this is to read the template file and 8 data files into 9 arrays, then I insert each text file data (array) to specific location of the template array by it’s index number.But this is not good enough because the data text data files can vary from file to file and I don’t always have the same number of lines in the (data) text files. Aditionally, I have file path controls (9 of them) to find the text files and write to the template.I like to be able to just enter the serial number of the file, create the path to the data file and find it in the folder. Appreciate your help, Thanks.

Here is a more compact and efficient way to do it. You could eventually replace the path array input section with the Recursive File List VI. (from the File I/O - Advanced File Functions palette, have a look at the help file, you can search for a pattern in the filename and it returns an array of the file found paths). Ben64
