Hello,

I import my data files into columns within a sheet. I'm looking for a way to add the last 5 characters in each filename as a new parameter for each column.

For example, I run an experiment and my data are recorded as a hundred consecutive csv files. The time that each measurement is made is not included inside the file but is part of the filename, e.g.: "2-091_Polym_2D18_150C_13-41.csv". I import all 100 files into 100 columns in a single sheet in Origin with the full filename in the comments (append filename to comments option while importing). I would like to add another parameter cell for "time" where the last "13-41" part is added. The full filename is variable but the time is always the last 5 characters before the extension.

I'm completely new to Origin and I appreciate your help!

Thanks,
Albaraa

Hi,

Please try the script below:

string strPath$ = "C:\MyData";
findFiles path:=strPath$ fname:=results$ ext:="csv";
int nn = results.GetNumTokens(CRLF);
newbook;
wks.UserParam1 = 1;
wks.UserParam1$ = "Time";
loop(ii,1,nn)
{
	fname$ = results.GetToken(ii, CRLF)$;
	strTime$ = left(right(fname$, 9)$, 5)$;
	impCSV options.FirstMode:=1 options.scripts.ScriptAfterEachImport:="wcol(ii)[D1]$ = strTime$;";
}


Regards,
Yuki
