Save a file in a very particular path - help needed

[.aCe.]

It is necessary, otherwise it will error if a directory you are trying to create already exists and everything will fall over!

in which way can i handle error?

new dir.VI --> no error (my path didn't exist and now it's created) --> build path --> save file

new dir.VI --> error (my path existed) --> build path --> save file

is it correct?

i don't thinks so...in this way i recognize if my path existed but in my control i do the same things... i use build path VI and i save my file in it

So is your problem fixed?

[gigi85]

no, i make as in image but it doesn't work...

in this way i can't find new dir, and i can't find my file too...they didn't wasn't create 😞

in image i show both cases, with error and without error...

from datalog file name subvi i got my relative path, that i would to sum to datalog path.

Below are two screenshots which shows the true and false cases. Hope that helps

if you have time could be so gentle to explain me your program? why is it done in this way? 

i'm trying to understand it but... 😞

Go back and look at my example.  In it you will see that I am looking for a particular error code (10).  This error code is generated when you try to make a directory that already exisits.  If you get this error, simply clear it.
