Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5 SR5
Operating System: Win 2000 Pro
I want to import multiple text-files. The first 5 rows of each file should be discarded, rows 6 and 7 should be the column labels. Then come the data in 4 columns. At the bottom of the files, I have some text that I want to import as well. Using the import wizard, I determined that I need ten columns to get the whole text. Here is my code:
//Import multiple .txt-files
int inumfiles;
StringArray saFilePaths;
inumfiles=GetMultiOpenBox(saFilePaths, "*.txt");
Worksheet wks;
//Import data into worksheets and rename them after file names
for (int ii=0; ii<saFilePaths.GetSize(); ii++)
{
wks.Create("Origin.OTW");
ASCIMP ascimp;
ascimp.iNumColumns=10;
ascimp.iHeaderLines=5;
ascimp.iAutoSubHeaderLines=0;
ascimp.iSubHeaderLines=2;
ascimp.iRenameCols=1;
ascimp.iDelimited=1;
ascimp.iDelimiter=ASCIMP_DELIM_SPACE;
ascimp.iRenameWks = 1;
wks.SetASCIMP(ascimp);
wks.ImportASCII(saFilePaths[ii],ascimp);
But what I get is row 6 as column labels, row 7 as data, everything else is not imported. How do I have to set the ascimp structure to import everything the way I want without setting up a template?

Ralph,
Can you please post a copy of your data file? You do not need to post all the data elements. The header lines, a few lines of data, and the text at the bottom of the file should be enough for me to play with. This will allow me to help you get the right ASCIMP settings.

Ralph,
This file will not import perfectly since the format is not consistent. I say this because if space is the delimiter then there are 5 column names, 3 column units, and 4 data columns. Despite this it is possible to get the 10 columns you are requesting. Please note that due to the inconsistency I described above column names and labels do not come in correctly but all the data and the remaining lines are imported.
Set these additional ASCIMP settings and you should be able to import your whole file.
ascimp.iPartial = 1; // enable partial import
ascimp.iPartialR2 = -1; // import all rows
ascimp.iPartialC2 = ascimp.iNumColumns;
ascimp.iLabels = 1;
ascimp.iMaxLabels = 1;

eparent,
Works perfectly, thank you. But why do I have to set iPartialR2=-1? Shouldn't all rows be imported automatically? |
