I have a script that currently prompts the user to select a file using fdlog.MultiOpen(). Once the OK button is selected in the "Open" window, I want the script to automatically select a 2nd file from the same directory that has the same name as the original file plus underscore DR (filename_DR). Does anyone know how I can do this?

This might not work but you may try:

open -w %A_DR; // import the data named %A_DR

This is under the assumption that your first filename is passed to %A.

Hi rmtruji,

Maybe your selected files all have the 2nd files with a suffix "_DR". I hope the following scripts would be useful:

fdlog.MultiOpen();
loop (ii,1,FDlog.MultiOpen.Count)
{
win -t data; //open a new worksheet
Fdlog.Get(A, ii); //get the selected filename respectively
open -w %A; //import the current selected file into wks
%w=%H; //backup this wks name
win -t data; //open a new worksheet
win -a %H; //active this new wks
open -w %w_DR.dat; //import the data file named %A_DR.dat
};

Thanks,
Sammi
