	string can be a string or any data structure that contains only strings, such as an array or clusters of strings.
	path is the platform-independent representation of the path described by string. If string is not a valid path descriptor on the current platform, the function sets path to <Not a Path>. path is of the same data type structure as string. Note  If string is <Not a Path>, the function returns a path to <Not a Path>. If you attempt to use the path, LabVIEW cannot find the file and throws an error.
