Hi,
Is it possible to access cell values with the getn-function directly?
I am currently using the following code, but that way i am getting a lot of variables to use.
win -a book1
aa$ = cell(4,42)$;
bb$ = cell(5,42)$;
.
.
getn
(name-1) aa$
(name-2) bb$
.
.
I tried
(name-1) cell(4,42)$
but it doesent work.
Thanks,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
GetN command takes only variable names there as the obtained values from the interaction will be set to these variables.
One possible way you may consider is to define a macro such as:///////////////////////
def mycells {
aa$ = cell(%1,42)$;
bb$ = cell(%2,42)$;
getn (name-1) aa$ (name-2) bb$;
cell(%1,42)$=aa$;
cell(%2,42)$=bb$;
}
////////////////////Then, when you run the following macro calling command with arguments:
mycells 4 5;
Hope this helps.

Hi Hideo,
Thanks for your reply.
I thought about another way. Is it possible to have a changing/running variable, like aa1, aa2, aa3,...
and put such into a loop, like:
for(i=1; i<=20; i++)
{
cell(i,40)$ = aa(i)$;
};

Hi Stefan,
Sure, as LabTalk is an interpreter language, you can compose a variable name, etc.
in a string way. For example,aa1$="A";
aa2$="B";
aa3$="C";
for(ii=1; ii<=3; ii++) {
cell(ii,1)$ = aa$(ii)$;
};
should work. Please note that the $(...) notation to convert a number to a string.
Also, I used "ii" instead of "i" because it is a system variable in Origin.

Hi Hideo,
Thanks you very much. I am pretty new in scripting, so there are a lot of problems rising ;)
Is there any good tutorial for learning the notations, for example, like "$", "%" and "!" ???
