Yes, but I cannot find anywhere a manual, tutorial or at least a complete list of commands with explanations for Lab Talk for Origin 7.
For example, I would like to understand how the script (that you wrote for me in nthe other topic) works, but I cannot find anywhere exactly what wcol does or how to use it, or what is %C etc.
It's kind of pointless to have to post a new topic every time I need a new script. I'd like to do it myself.
Looking in Origin 7's Help : Programming : LabTalk Reference under Function Reference \ Utility Functions \ Basic Worksheet Functions you will see some examples of col( ), wcol( ) and cell( ) functions. (Quickly found by searching for "wcol".) %C is an example of a "String System Variable" (now called String Registers) so search on that phrase should turn up the fact that %C is "The name of the current active dataset". The help file is pretty complete, but learning LabTalk is best done by looking at examples and referring to the help when you don't understand a command. I would recommend reading the "Overview of the LabTalk Language" to get started. (Ignore 7.0's heavy-handed push toward Origin C. We reversed course when X-Functions were developed and now see LabTalk as the main language to use in automating Origin.)
