Send Position as a String

Hello,

I have a current RAPID program that is communicating with LabVIEW. I want the RAPID program to send LV a string of it's current position, with tool and axis configurations as well as the robtarget name, once the robot has reached a position.

This is my code:
MODULE Module1
    CONST robtarget Home:=[[374,0,630],[0.707106781,0,0.707106781,0],[0,0,0,0],[9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9]];
    CONST robtarget Target_10:=[[526.3896,0,477.5962],[0.707106781,0,0.707106781,0],[0,0,0,1],[9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9]];
    CONST robtarget Target_10_2:=[[526.3896,190.5,528.3962],[0.707106781,0,0.707106781,0],[0,0,-1,1],[9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9,9E9]];

    VAR socketdev client_socket;
    VAR socketdev RS;
    VAR num retry_no:=0;
    VAR rawbytes parse_data;
    VAR num peek_value:=0;
    VAR num bytes_available:=0;
    VAR byte command:=255;
    VAR num i;
    VAR num MoveNext:=0;

    PROC Path_10()
        SocketClose client_socket;
        Socketcreate client_socket;
        SocketConnect client_socket,"192.168.125.5",3333;
        !127.0.0.1 for self
        SocketSend client_socket\Str:="Connection Successful, you are the server, I am the client!"\NoOfBytes:=59;
        IF ERRNO=ERR_SOCK_TIMEOUT THEN
        ENDIF
        ! Clear the port of any data
        ClearRawBytes parse_data;
        i:=1;
        WHILE i=1 DO
            peek_value:=SocketPeek(client_socket);
            IF peek_value>=1 THEN

                ClearRawBytes parse_data;
                SocketReceive client_socket\RawData:=parse_data\Time:=25;
                bytes_available:=RawBytesLen(parse_data);
                SocketSend client_socket\RawData:=parse_data;
                IF bytes_available>=1 THEN
                    UnpackRawBytes parse_data,1,command\Hex1;
                    IF command=105 THEN
                        command:=0;
                        Incr MoveNext;
                        IF MoveNext=1 THEN
                            SocketSend client_socket\Str:="FALSE",\NoOfBytes:=5;
                            !                            MoveJ Home,v100,z10,tool0\WObj:=wobj0;
                            !                            WaitTime 1;
                            SocketSend client_socket\Str:="TRUE",\NoOfBytes:=4;
                        ENDIF
                        IF MoveNext=2 THEN
                            SocketSend client_socket\Str:="FALSE",\NoOfBytes:=5;
                            MoveJ Target_10,v100,z10,tool0\WObj:=wobj0;
                            WaitTime 1;
                            SocketSend client_socket\Str:="TRUE",\NoOfBytes:=4;
                            SocketSend client_socket\Data:=Current_Pos;
                        ENDIF
                        IF MoveNext=3 THEN
                            SocketSend client_socket\Str:="FALSE",\NoOfBytes:=5;
                            MoveJ Target_10_2,v100,z10,tool0\WObj:=wobj0;
                            WaitTime 1;
                            SocketSend client_socket\Str:="TRUE",\NoOfBytes:=4;
                        ENDIF
                        :
                        :
                        :
                        IF MoveNext>=27000 THEN
                            SocketSend client_socket\Str:="FALSE",\NoOfBytes:=5;
                            MoveNext:=0;
                            SocketSend client_socket\Str:="TRUE",\NoOfBytes:=4;
                        ENDIF
                        IF ERRNO>0 THEN
                            IF ERRNO=ERR_SOCK_TIMEOUT THEN
                            ELSE
                                i:=0;

I looked into the Cpos and CRobT functions in the manual, but it didn't really help me. Essentially I just need to take the current position, convert it to a string, and send that string to LV for each position. The problem is I have a ton of positions so I can't just go in and say "your at position # 5,267", that would take too long. If someone has done this before, I would greatly appreciate any examples or pointers!

Thanks in advance for any help!
