The following script works in a script window, but not in a worksheet script window. It is a slight modification of a script in the Knowledge Base.
%Z="";
jjmax= %[%F]; ; // Null out resultant string
loop(jj,1,jjmax) { // Loop for each character in %A
if(%[%F,jj:jj]=="\") %Z=%Z\\ // if char=\ replace with \ else %Z=%Z%[%F,jj:jj]; // if char!=\ keep char
};
type %[%F] $(jj) $(jjmax);
In a Script Window I get the following result typed:
54 55 54
Here Origin goes through the loop 54 times.
In a Worksheet Script Window I get the following:
54 1 54
In the Worksheet Script Window the loop only goes through once, even though my minimum and maximum values are 1 and 54.
Any idea how to fix? I am using Origin 6.1 with Patch 4.
Ultimately, I want to copy the label from a worksheet such as, "c:\mydocs\origin\data1.txt" and write it as a label on a graph. When I write the label on the graph it interprets each "\" as a delimiter and formats the text in a funny way. The above routine replaces each "\" by "\\" which then prints as "\" in the graph label.
Thanks,
Joe |

Hi Joe,
There's an escape sequence that's not well documented but will work for what you want to do. Try this...
%T=c:\mydocs\origin\data1.txt;
label -s \v(%T);
Hope that helps.
...As for your script, if the double semicolon in this line
jjmax= %[%F]; ; // Null out resultant string
is really there (and not just added to your post by mistake), then it might be causing your problems.

I never was able to get the script to work, even with taking out that extra semicolon. I had originally tried using %[%F] directly in the loop command and that did not work either.
\v( ) did do what I need however.
Thanks,
Joe

You should put script into ogs file and call them from your worksheet script, like
run.section(%YmyScript.ogs,main)
or put script into buttons and execute them from the Worksheet Script, like
text.run();
The Worksheet Script dialog executes LabTalk line by line in the old days to avoid ';' and thus will have problem with multi-lined scripts.
