I would like to write a script that opens multiple ascii files, each in a separate worksheet, and then saves them as separate origin files.
There is an example on the originlab website, but it doesn't seem to be complete, and so it doesn't work.
I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Thank you.

Hi,

I don't know which script you're referring to or why it doesn't work, but this should do what you want...

getfile -m; // get multiple ASCII data files
for(i=1;i<=count;i+=1)
{
getfile -g i; // get file name into %A
win -t data; // bring up a new worksheet
open -w %A; // import the data
save -i C:\Data\%H; // save wks as C:\Data\wksname.ogw (adjust path as needed)
}

Hi,
Thank you very much for your help.
This seems to work. However, although it opens all the files correctly it gives an error message (something like: file cannot be saved because it's being used) when it tries to save them.
Any ideas?

thank you.

Are you sure that the directory named in the save command exists? I got this error message when I tried to save to a folder that doesn't exist...

"Can not open file C:\Data\SampleData.ogw for saving. File is in use or read only."
