You can name a Notes window with space characters in the name, but the old LT command to create a Notes Window does not allow it, so you have to create it, then rename it - and here it gets tricky. (I'll pass along the problem to the programmers.)
// Literal text win -n notes "This is a Notes Window"; // The resultant name is truncated to "This" // Here is the rename win -rn This This is a Notes Window; // No quotes
// String variable string strNoteName$ = "This is a Notes Window"; win -n notes %(strNoteName$); // Fails by truncation win -rn This %(strNoteName$);
The trick here is knowing how the name fails (gets truncated to This) since no standard LT convention will tell you its name. A safer method would be to use a standard initial name, then assign its real name: win -n notes gobbledegook; win -rn gobbledegook My Notes Window;
Now your first question ... // Remember output channel(s) of TYPE command temp = type.redirection; // Point to correct Notes Window type.NOTES$="My Notes Window"; // Type output redirected to 'NOTES' type.redirection = 2; // Following adds lines to your notes ty These lines have been%(CRLF)added to the notes window; // Restore Origin's normal type redirection type.redirection = temp;
