Origin Version (7.5):
Operating System:Win2k

Hi

I have the following line of lab talk script:
 document -a C:\Program Files\OriginLab\OriginPro75\Origin.otp


If the above line fails I would like to call it again with a different path (Origin75 not OriginPro75).

What would the line return if it was successful (or fails) so I can create an IF statement.

Thank You

The document command returns nothing but you can test for the existence of the project with the exist(file path\name) function. If the file exists the function returns its size in KB, if it doesn't exist it returns -1.

%Z=C:\Program Files\OriginLab\OriginPro75\Origin.otp;
if( exist(%Z)<0 )
{
%Z=some other file;
if( exist(%Z)<0 ) %Z="";
};
if(%Z!="") doc -a %Z;
