Hi all, I'm writing a script in the "script after each file" section of the import wizard which is supposed to automatically plot my imported data. This works fine but I want to add a text label with text from a text file. So I somehow need to save the text from the file to a string, at which point I seem to fail. I don't get the readString command to work. Is there anything special to consider here or is there another way? I have the file path in a string. So the general idea should be: Declare a stdiofile object with this path, read the file and add this to the string I want to display, add the label to my plot, done. right? regards
The "script after each file" section of the import wizard only accept the LabTalk script, but the readString command and stdiofile object you used are Origin C functions.
Please try to create a .c file to define the functions you want using Origin C and then call the functions in the "script after each file" section.
Ok, I wrote this .c file and it works fine when I start it from the command window in Origin. But when I return the string to my script it seems to be limited to a fixed number(267)of characters. Can anybody tell me why this is and how I can change this or what else to do? regards
I think you were using something like the following in Labtalk
%K=test_set_longtext()$;
In Labtalk help file, it say each String Register can hold up to 260 characters at most(%A-%Y, except for some reserved ones, like %Y, %G etc), yet there is an exception, the %Z, so you may change your code to
%Z=test_set_longtext()$; //%Z can hold longer text
or
strText$=test_set_longtext()$;
add textlabel from a textfile
