Strip a path using Build Path function

Today I learned one LabVIEW trick from my colleague Balaji. He showed me how to strip a path using build path function. I attached code snippets of the trick below.

Remove duplicate element & Sort the Array

Using varient function we can remove the duplicate elements & sort the elements of the array (Numeric,String array...). You can find the varient functions like "Set Variant Attribute"," Get Variant Attribute" in block digraram-> Function Palatte-> Cluster,Class & Varient -> Varient (LabVIEW 2009). By using those function without implementing anyother logics we can achieve removing duplicate element & sort array. It will work in String,Numeric & reference array also. See the simple exampleVI snippet attached below.
