[vrf] Variable for filename!!!

Hello Everyone,
 
I am storing the data collected to a .txt file using I/O To File. Can I have a variable for the filename so that the user can input whatever name he wants? If so, how do I do it?
 
Thank you.
 
Monty

Add a 'control input' for the file name and pipe the name into this input. You can of course get this name from anywhere you like.

Make sure you sequence the 'Name' prompt 'sequence out' to the I/O to file 'sequence in'
