Hi everyone. I want exctract rows, each with the same distance from the other, from a large worksheet and copy them to a new worksheet.
Is there a simple way to do this?
Thank you

Hi Flavio,
Yes, a worksheet with 20000 rows takes up much more memory/disk space than one with 20 rows. Use set %H -er wks.maxrows to delete the empty rows at the bottom. If you are extracting periodic rows then you might find the method discussed here useful...

I use this strategy to work with my datafiles, basically I have a lot of sets of mesurements in one worksheet and I separte them duplicating the worksheet and deleting with mark -d all the rows that I donīt want. The problem is that my original worksheet has like 20000 rows, so after duplicating and erasing I have 20 worksheets with the proper data but although I am only using 1000 rows of each worksheet, the size of the worksheets is 20000 rows, of course 19000 of them are empty. This result in my origin projects being huge ( aroun 600 MB ). So I have 2 questions, how do I delete this empty rows? and Am I right in thinking that my files are so big due to excesive size of worksheets with empty rows?
Thanks, Flavio. |

Probably easiest to duplicate the worksheet and remove the rows you don't want...
rep=5; // keep every 5th row
wo -d; // duplicate wks
for(i=wks.maxrows;i>0;i--) {
if(mod(i,rep)) mark -d col(1) -b i -e i; // delete row
};

Thank you Zachary, this is excatly what Origin has to do but there's a way to do that with labtalk? I tried with some for loop but with no results..

I think the most simple way is using Extract Worksheet Data (menu: Analysis\Extract Worksheet Data). Set the condition as
mod(i-1, 5)==0 , where 5 is the distance from the other.
