Origin Ver. 7 and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin):
Operating System: XP
Hi,
I am having a lot of problems with my program. I am using a software called SynerJY that uses Origin C and Labtalk in it. When I collected information from a spectrometer, SynerJY/Origin created a graph of my data, a note to store experiment info in, and a worksheet with the data collected.
From what I could see, it named these with the name I had decided to use and then a number for an identifier. So for example, if I decided I wanted these runs to be MyRun, the files generated would be a graph-MyRun1, a note-MyRunn1, and a worksheet-MyRund1. It puts an n between the name I chose and the identifier for notes, and put a d in between for the data so that 3 files with the same name aren't made.
This was fine, I created a program that anticipated this nomenclature. However, I have found that two probelms occur:
When I use file names that contain enough characters so that the automatically generated filenames are greater than 9 characters, it truncates them-but only with the worksheet and note. The graph is named as anticipated.
(This I didn't feel was too much of a problem because the programs I developed look at the graph selected and the dataset plotted in it-so as long as the worksheet and note were truncated the same and had the same identifier number, it was okay)
The next thing is that I found when I got to runs of numbers over 10, the note page would not be named MyRunn10, but rather MyRundn0. A 'd' was added to it, and the numeric identifier was not 10 as is should be. The worksheet however was named as I had anticipated.
Lastly, when I went to 20 runs, something very strange happened. I would have to notes with the same name. I would have MyRundn0 (which should have been MyRunn10) and MyRundn0 (which was MyRunn20). From this point, whichever I click was renamed to MyRundn10.
Is this something within Origin or SynerJY, and is there any way that this can be altered? I think the program can support longer names because when I right click and rename it, it allows me to put a name without being limited to 9 chars.
Please help me, I am really growing frustrated with this. I have no way to anticipate what it will name my notes and worksheets in order to write an effective program. (To execute most of the buttons I made, I need to be able to know the three files that 'go together'-The graph, note, and worksheet generated from that run. When they are being nammed in unpredictable ways like this, I am not sure how I can do that. |
