Origin Version 7.0 (Select Help-->Tutorial):
Operating System: Windows Xp
Dear all,
I want to learn about Automating the processes in Origin. The best I thought to look in the Help-->Tutorial-->Programming Tutorials-->Automation Example.
After following all the instructions given in the tutorial and finally
running the command Process %yTutorial\Sample.txt from the Script Window. I get the "File Not Found" error. However the file is
infact present in the designated folder.
I am wonder if I am missing something obvious!!!
Could someone please help me sort it out?
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi and Hajo,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
When Origin is installed, by default the User Files folder is set up to be a different folder than the EXE path.
We therefore have a mistake in our tutorial steps because this was done assuming the user files folder and the exe folder are one and the same - it is possible to configure it this way, but not recommended.
We will correct this error in the tutorial.
Thanks,
Easwar

Hello, Ravi
I tried out the issue you documented in Origin7.5 with the same failure!
Please try the following (type into the scripting window ...):
- Process %yTutorial\Sample.txt
this will lead to the file not found error you reported.
- type %yTutorial\Sample.txt
shows you the real processed path. %y expands to the Origin User directory NOT as expected in the tutorial to the Origin installation directory where the Tutorial folder is located. So the error message is correct!
- %a=system.path.program$
Process %aTutorial\Sample.txt
This should work!
Maybe you'll find it usefull to have a look at the following Help section:
LabTalk Language Reference -> Overview of the LabTalk Language -> Keywords -> String System Variables
Hope that helps ...
