The "-n project" names the label so it can be updated or deleted from script. The "-p 45 2" is one of a number of ways the label can be positioned. (See the LabTalk LABEL command for others.) The "-s" option allows Origin string variables to be interpreted. (%X is a project path and %G is a project name.) Since paths typically contain backslash characters ('\') and LabTalk uses that character as an escape sequence for formatting, the string - %X%G - is wrapped with a special escape sequence - \v( ) - to express the substituted strings 'verbatum' - ignoring all other '\' sequences.
Hi I'm sorry for reviving this old topic, but I can't figure out how to deal properly with the backslash... Is there an escape sequence for the backslash? Typing \\ doesn't work with the type command. (It shows two backslashs)
For example: I have a Filepath: "C:\temp\01\myOriginProject\" which looks like this, when I use the type command without options: "C: emp" (escaped \t and \0) when I use type -v instead it looks good: "C:\temp\01\myOriginProject" (not escaped)
But my problem with the -v option is, that it is used for the whole string. What if I need some escape-sequences executed others not? Imagine the following string: "Origin Project is saved here:\nC:\temp\01\myOriginProject\" (Which could be used as log or something) This string looks strange with and without the -v option.

Can you help me?

LabTalk is weird. In your case, enter a new line instead of \n, like this:
\v(Here: %X%G.OPG
To run such script, you have to select all these 2 lines before hitting ENTER. And why leaving out the closing parenthesis? LOL~
OK. This LabTalk thing is too weird for me. If I try to solve little problems, I'm forced to search for solutions over hours. I realized that I get things done quicker, when I use OriginC. Anyway, thanks for your advice, Castiel!

Tried in command window? You should have tried the script window instead.
