Hi everyone,
I'm trying to write a labtalk script where I'm opening a file that has a name like "N=XX.dat", where N is an integer between 00 and 99. The problem is that for 0<XX<10, the files are like XX=01.dat, XX=02.dat,..., XX=09.dat, while for 10 <= XX < 100, they are like XX=10.dat, XX=11.dat, ..., XX=99.dat.
Say that %P is the path, and %N is the filename, I would like to force something like
%N=$(XX,2).dat
where XX would be an integer with 2 digits, so that if XX < 10, I get something like
%N=05.dat (for example).
This would save me a lot of if statements! I tried searching for this in the help files, but could not find anything about format options when writing to a string, or character variable.
Thanks,
Alexis

Hi Alexis,
Much easier to do in Origin C. Add the following function to CodeBuilder's workspace as described here. Use it in a LabTalk script like this... %N=get_file_name(XX)$;.
string get_file_name(int i)
{
string str;
str.Format("%02d.dat",i);
return str;
}
