Origin Ver.8.1 SR3
Operating System: Win 7
Hi,
I have a problem setting Long Names in my columns. I have a huge amount of data and plan to do some preliminary calculations while importing.
I use the Labtalk script while importing.
I have two columns A and B in ascii files. I create a new column C while importing and assign Col(C)=abs(Col(B));
But I want to assign a Long Name to Column C so that When i plot it I can automatically use it int he legend.
Any Help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Try the following:
col(a)[L]$ = "peak@(" + col(c)[1]$ + "," + col(d)[1]$ + ")";
You can simply "add"/concatenate the string elements together with the + operator, putting literals in quotes.

Thanks! it works!
so, can I get my longname to be two different values from my worksheet, or have a name and a value?
like if I have
col(a): response: 1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1 0
col(b): time: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
col(c): peak response: 5
col(d): time at peak response: 5
and I want to have my col(a) longname set to: "peak@(5,5)"
so, I'd expect it to be like:
col(a)[L]$ = "peak@(" col(c)[1]$ "," col(d)[1]$ ")"
but of course (since I know so little about scripts) it doesn't work...
thanks a million! |

You can use this
col(C)[L]$ = col(C)[1]$; // $ implies string value
This notation is preferred over
wks.col3.label$ = col(C)[1]$
or
wks.col$(colnum(C)).label$ = col(C)[1]$
If your entire first row is actually text that you want to use for Long Names, then consider modifying the import to put that row into Long Name rather than data. You can also use
wrow2label longname:=1;
which is equivalent to selecting row 1, right-clicking and choosing Set as Long Name. |

Is there a way to set the long name of a column as a value from the workbook?
ie. if col(c)[1] contains the name of the experiment and after some processing I got my results to col(d) and I want to name col(d) as whatever is written in col(c)[1]
thank you!!! |

Hi Thentangler,
The following LabTalk script can be used to set the long name of the third column:
wks.col3.label$=your long name;
You can see more details in this page:
