Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 2015
Operating System: Win 7

The summary question: I would like to use the expASC command function to export a selected column to a file - but without having to type a new path each time.

The details: I have a worksheet with 1200 columns, and I need to be able to export every other one to a separate file. I can do this by selecting the column and using expASC in the command window:

expASC type:=text path:="c:\...\name_00001" select:=1 separator:=tab longname:=0 units:=0 missing:=0;

I don't want to have to change the file name (actually just the number at the end of the filename) in the file path each time. Is there a way to have expASC pull the path or part of the path from the long name of the column? I suppose that there might also be a way to use OriginC to export specific columns to separate files...

Thank you for any help you can provide,
Lowell

Hi, Lowell

Please see whether the scripts below works for you.


range aa=%C;
%A = aa.lname$;
expASC type:=text path:=D:\test\%A select:=1 separator:=tab longname:=0 units:=0 missing:=0;


where D:\test\ is path and %A is the long name of selected columns

Echo,
Thank you, that works beautifully. I've put the script into a programming control button and now only need one click to export!

Where can I find more about the 'range' options and identifiers like 'lname$'? Searching Origin Help doesn't lead me anywhere.

I think this page is the most complete on range,

http://www.originlab.com/doc/LabTalk/guide/Range-Notation

but you are right, even on this page, there was no mention of the lname$ property.


Basically, when you define a column range, then you can access to all the column properties, like to set range aa to column A, and see a list by

range aa=1;
aa.=;


and these properties are listed on wks.col object level:
