How can I valid the path in different devices

Question

I wrote a program using the PDA module months ago, I was now told to modify to make it robust in the sense that, the program with ‘run’ in any PDA.
There are several directories that are common with PDA’s, such as Storage, Storage Card, SD Card, MMC-SD Card e.t.c.
I previous used a Build Path to create the path I wanted that looked like this:
"Storage Card/S345220107.txt" where S345 is the user id and 220107 is the date from a time stamp VI.
What I want to do is to find a way of knowing what directory a PDA has somehow.
An algorithm of it will look some thing like this:
String aPath;
String pathToUse;
String[ ] path = new Path[4]; // An array
path[0] = "Storage" // First index
path[0] = "Storage Card"
path[0] = "SD Card"
path[0] = "MMC-SD Card"
public void setPath( String Path) {
aPath = path;
public String getPath( ) {
       return aPath;
I will use a For Loop to set the path, but what I don’t know is how to test each one.
In Java I can say:
if( aPath.equals(Storage)) {
        pathToUse = "Storage" + userId + date + ".txt";
System.out.println("valid Path");
else if ( aPath.equals(Storage Card)) {
            pathToUse = "Storage" + userId + date + ".txt";
            System.out.println("Valid Path");
else if ( aPath.equals(SD Card)) {
            pathToUse = "Storage" + userId + date + ".txt";
            System.out.println("Valid Path");
else if ( aPath.equals(MMC-SD Card)) {
           pathToUse = "Storage" + userId + date + ".txt";
           System.out.println("");
else {
          System.out.println("path not valid");
The pathToUse string is then used as the input to the Open/Create/Replace File VI.
Any ideas guys

Hi
I created the VI you sent, and for the first version, when there is a Match, it does not place the found folder name in the Start Path or the Current Path Indicators. So the path created is not correct
I then tried a second version called PathSearch1Vi and added a few things for it to do what I wanted. Please run both and see if the second version is OK or what should be added to the first version.
Thanks you very much for your help.
