I how to save an array to a text file?

It is possible. It is just a question of how do you want the text file to look in the end.

"Array to spreadsheet string" has defined handling of higher dimensional arrays, so just use it and save the resulting string to a plain text file.
To read it back, just read it as a plain string, then use "spreadsheet string to array" to recreate the N-dimensional array.
Why does nobody ever read the help?
Personally, it makes little sense to do this. I would recommend to store it in a binary file instead. Much more efficient, with the disadvantage that it is not readable by the typical humans. 😄

My objective is save the array in some kind of file so I can read it in another VI as the original array.
If you don't care about reading in a text file, the definately just use the Write Binary File function. It will make this task very simple.

Yeah, because us knights are kind of crazy. Even still, I would not want to look at a 3D array in a text file. It is bad enough with multiple pages in Excel.
Well, you are probably to young to remember entire books with logarithm tables. 😄 (I guess you've never used a slide rule either).
Kids these days!

I have actually used a logrithm table. I think it was in high school physics (or was it 6th grade math?). But the slide rule is something that has eluded me. I can recognize one, but have yet to use one. If my father ever finds his again, I have laid claim to it.
But at least I remember LabVIEW before the project!
