Its one file with multiple datasets of two types (Type A, Type B). There is a main header at the beginning and then a special header for each dataset. All headers and datasets have various lengths and the two types don't have any order. I would like to put all A-datasets in one workbook. Each dataset should be in its own sheet with a note sheet with the relating header beforehand. Then the same for the B-datasets. My first problem is, that I could not find a function which generates a new note sheet [i]in[/i] the workbook. The only solution I found was an extra note window, but this would be too confusing because of the great number of datasets. Also, I can not understand how to import datasets with various length. I read all the Import-related topics in the Origin C forum and the programming guide, also I understood how to do a partial import and so on, but not how to handle various header/dataset lenghts. Maybe there is a function which could find given words in my header and read out the following string/number? I think this would serve best, for all information I need is written down in the header (esp. the length of the dataset). The headers are of the following type: # information1: 1000 # information65: Type A # information344: 23 all with various number of spaces. Thank you very much for any help! Edit: Its an ASCII with .xy datatype. Its no problem to import it in general (by typing all parameters by hand); the problem is to automate the process.
