There seems to be very little examples on using Origin from Python, so called external Python, vs the Embedded Python PyOrigin. From outside, we provided OriginExt package since Origin 2018b.
Here I wrote some very simple code to show how to use this to search for a project file using a string:
import OriginExt as O
import os
str = input('string to search for:')
#put in your folder location
root = 'c:\\tmp\\'
flist = []
for fn in os.listdir(root):
if fn.endswith('.opju') or fn.endswith('.opj'):
fullpath = root + fn
flist.append(fullpath)
app = O.Application()
found=[]
for afile in flist:
if app.Load(afile):
result = app.ProjectSearch(str)
app.Execute('doc -s')#to prevent asking to save
if len(result) > 10:
print('*',end='')
found.append(afile)
else:
print('.',end='')
print('done')
for fopj in found:
print(fopj)
app.Exit()
del app
