Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 9.0
Operating System: Win.7
Hello,
I was hoping for some help with likely simple naming conventions. I am doing batch import csv files and would like Origin to automatically name (long name I guess) each new table the first four characters of the *.csv.
Second, I would like the subsequent plots run to display Graph[N]_[table name] and each title on the graphs to also show "[table name] Plot".
Can anyone advise on where to start? While I am getting used to Origin, I am still relatively new to the software (and its variable codes).
Thanks a lot,
Bryan
PS - If anyone has a nice table of the Origin variable codes, I would appreciate that! |

Hi Bryan,
Here is how to import csvs with only 1st 4 characters of the file name.
Choose File: Import: Import CSV.
Select all the csv files you want to import and click OK.
In the subsequent ImpCSV dialog,
Expand Import Options-> (Re)Naming Worksheet and Workbook node.
Check Rename Sheet with (Partial) File Name.
Trim Filename from 1.
Trim Filename to 4.
You can also do the same for "Rename Book with (Partial Filename" part.
Click OK
--> only 1st 4 chars of the file name will show as worksheet names of each import.
Then after you plot a graph with data from one sheet, you can right click on blank area of graph and choose Add/Modify Layer Title.
Then u can see Layer Title added and highlighted. u can type any name as title or with all text highlighted (inplace edit mode), right click and choose Insert Info. Variables...
In right side of the dialog, you can choose the Sheet node, and then on Label tab, select Name row. (uncheck "Insert as Property = Value").
Click Insert. Then click Close to close the db.
--> The sheet name will be inserted as as layer title, e.g. %(Y, @WS). You can add any text after it. Then click outside the text box to get out of the inplace edit mode. U will see the title with sheet name included.
As to how to make the graph title to include the sheet name, I will ask coworkers to check and update you.
Thanks, Snow

Hi Bryan,
Sorry there might not have a direct way to let window long name to detect sheet name. But you can do the following to implement this:
1. Right click the layer title you created as Snow suggested and select "Programming Control..."
2. In the dialog, input as below
You may take a look at the link below to see more info about @ notation:
