Hi, I 'm producing a lot of different data with some programs I'm writing for a class and I plot this data in Origin. What I usually do is to write, in the data file, the main result of the program or the parameters I used to generate the data file(usually a couple of line before the data itself). Is there any way to have Origin read this line (or more than one) and use this as label in my graphs or at least keep in a place where I can access them? Thanks a lot

Take a look at the following pages:

Outputting the ASCII header to a text object

How import multiple headerlines from asciifile?

ASCII Header Information

Kwondledge Base: Move

I remember I had some problems with all the solutions. What I usually do is to import the header in the column labels (by skipping that lines for the rows, and so inserting this information into the column labels), and then access the text with commands of this type:

%m=data1!wks.col1.label$; // take the label of the 1st column

%m=%[%m,@2]; // take the second line of that label

header.text$=\b(%m); // put that text into the contents of the "header" object, on a graph, for instance

But I don't have many necessities of this kind, so my solutions can be too simple...

Jose,
thanks a lot for yuor answer and pointing me in the right direction
I haven't had the time to try carefully all of them but I'have already found, as you suggested, that they only work to some extent.
As soon as i can find something I'll post it
