Create continous sequence of numbers

Question

Hello
I need to create numbers starting from 1 to n. I need these numbers to add as ending in the name of files that are being saved. For example File_1, File_2........etc.
I tried to create a for loop (n= 100) and wired the "i" outside. Only i need is these i values ( 0,1,2,3,.....100)
How is i possible? See attachment ffor what i have done.

Ok Alain... here s the problem. I have a VI that writes some values to Excel and saves. Each time the VI is run it saves an Excel file. I need the Excel file naming like " File_1, File_2...etc.Those numbers 1, 2 should come at the ending in name. That was what i needed. But as i mentioned, i already got the solution in another way.
In that case, the following vi is what you need.  You send in the basic file name, like "File_", and it returns the next numbered file name, like "File_003".  The next time you call it, it will return "File_004", and so on.  The first time you ever call it, send in a True on the Start Over? boolean input.  After than send in a False.  The vi contains a LV2 Style Functional Global.  The shift register is uninitialized.  It remembers what is in the shift register from the time it was called before.  The first time you call it, you must make Start Over as True so that it can initialize the shift register with 1.  Then the file name will be FIle_001.  Next time you call it, Start Over is False, and the shift register gets incremented, so the 1 becomes a 2, and the output is File_002.
I think this is the best way to handle your problem.  It is both quick and easy.
