Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): Origin Pro 7.587
Operating System: XP

I'm importing several files by drag and drop of the file into the origin workspace. After that an import filter and a script is invoked. Is there access to the path from where the draged file comes? I would like to save a generated worksheet window into that directory.

Hans

Hi Hans,

Try this in your script...

%Z=doc.dropfilename$; // path\name of dropped file
for(i=1;i>0;i++)
{
%F=%[%Z,#i,\]; // ith token in path
if(%F=="") break;
%A=%F;
};
// %A is file name
%B=%[%Z,%[%Z]-%[%A]+1]; // file path

Hi Mike,

it works perfectly. Exactly what I'd looked for.

Thanks a lot
