Saving and then populating the vi when loading

Question

Hello,
what i have is a vi that if i seclect a boolean control to be true then an array value will go into a string indicator.  the boolean controls that are selected are then put into a boolean array.  what i would like to do is save the the string indicator and the boolean array and then when i try to load the saved file it will populate the indicatiors again.  can someone show me how to do this.  also, how do you convert a boolean array to an xml file.  thank you
i attaced a vi that is simple that creates the string indicatior and boolean array.

Answer 1

Could not open your VI as i do not have labVIEW 8.x installed on my system
But this is what I understood.
You want to save a boolean array ( Which corresponding to states of the controls) and a string array ( is it??)
What I suggest is , bundle them into a cluster, write to a file.
You can always read that file ( Note: define the byte stream type to be the same as what you write into the file), unbundle these arays and use it to update your Indicators.
