I have a label placed on a worksheet. How to get a value of this label to use it as a variable in a Labtalk script?

P.S.: By the way, if open a worksheet and try execute:

page -label

in Labtalk script window Origin7.0(SP1) crashes as well as Origin6.0 (Win2000).

If you placed the text label on the worksheet with the Add Text command on the right-click menu you should be able to get its contents with

%A=text.text$;

In any case you can select the text label and then use Label Control on the Format menu to find out it's name and/or change it. Then use

%A=labelname.text$; // put its contents in the string variable A
labelname.text$=%A; // set its contents to the contents of %A

...What is page -label? Are you sure you are using the right command?

Page -label???

There's a page -l templateName command that:

Reads the specified template file and add all of its layers to the page in the active graph window.
I think you just used this command inappropriately to cause a crash. But maybe there should be some protection against this.

%A=text.text$;
works just fine, thanks.

page -label is of course wrong to use for worksheet but it is a little disappointed to loose unsaved work, must be some sort of protection at least. I expected to see #Command Error!
