Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5SR6
Operating System:winXP

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to import and analyse a series of files that have the following format:

EIG_N=05_g=X.XXXX_rot=0.5698_3LL.dat

where X.XXX is a number of the form 1.000 or 4.6493. I know that this is a rather ugly file name, but please bear with me anyway. Suppose that I have thousands of these files which represent the variable g incrementing from 0.0000 to 9.0000 in steps of 0.0001. This is not always the case, just an example.

My problem is that I want to loop over the variable g in some file import script and then perform some analysis. When I try to import a file with trailing zeroes such as

EIG_N=05_g=1.0000_rot=0.5698_3LL.dat,

my loop variable g=1.0000 is represented in labtalk as 1 and origin tried to import the file EIG_N=05_g=1_rot=0.5698_3LL.dat.

Is there any way to get around this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Alexis

Use $(g,.4) to force 4 digits beyond decimal point...

g=1;
%A=$(g,.4)_rot;
%A=;
1.0000_rot

Thanks Mike! I knew that there must be some easy way to do this, but for some reason I couldn't find it in the help files.
