MaggotsBrain	Posted - 05/22/2014 : 03:40:33 AM Hello, I would like to automate some data treatment by writing a script with Origin. My issue is the following: I have a '.exe' program which performs some treatment on my data. Although it makes some important treatments which are pre-requisite for my following tasks, it does not perform all the treatments I need. I am not the author of this program and do not want, neither have the skills, to touch it. Consequently, I would like to know if it is possible to call my '.exe' file throughout a script in Origin to perform some treatments on a specified file. Then, I would be able to pursue the treatment with a classic Origin script. I am pretty sure it is possible, however, I do not know how to do this, any idea anyone?

cpyang	Posted - 05/22/2014 : 1:10:52 PM You can use the LabTalk run command to run an external EXE, see http://www.originlab.com/doc/LabTalk/ref/Run-cmd#-e.5Bp.5D.3B_Execute_the_following_text_as_if_it_were_typed_into_the_Windows_Run_dialog_box Use the run -ep option. From Origin C, you can execute any LabTalk script. Of if you prefer to really do this from Origin C, then use the WinExec command http://www.originlab.com/doc/OriginC/ref/WinExec or ShellExecute http://www.originlab.com/doc/OriginC/ref/ShellExecute cp
