slooff	Posted - 02/02/2010 : 04:36:19 AM Origin 8 SR^ (Select Help-->About Origin): Operating System: Windows Hi, I want to import a data file that has a specific name: ec091203-03s_1 and automatically rename it to ec091203-03s_l. Can this be done using an import script or with an import filter? I need to do the dame for a similar file, but than the filname is ec091203-03s_2 and automatically rename it to ec091203-03s_d Next I want to use these worksheets to subtract one from the other and therefore I need to see if the dataset is 'd' or 'l'. Can somebody advise me how to do this? Thanks! Lenneke

greg	Posted - 02/02/2010 : 2:19:02 PM Since LabTalk has no file rename you would need to use OriginC which has a RenameFile function plus some other functions for parsing a filename which you should find useful. After you have written your OC file which might have two functions - one for each rename type - then you can create a filter for each type which does the appropriate rename at the end of the import. So you might start with the dlgfile XF which will get filename into fname$: dlgfile gr:=.; Then use your filter with your code to do the import impfile filter:=RenameType1 location:=user; The RenameType1 filter has script that runs at the end of the import to load and compile your OriginC code and then calls the correct rename: if(!run.loadoc(MyRenames.c)) RenameType1(%(fname$)); else ty Could not load oc function.; Your script after import could also tag the worksheet in some way so you can later identify it as 'd' or 'l'. Here is one possibility: wks.userparam1$ = RenameType; // Add a user-defined header wks.userparam1 = 1; // Show it in worksheet col(1)[RenameType]$ = D; // Set value in column 1 to "D"
