Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5 SR6
Operating System: Win 2000
Hi,
Why can't i open or append an origin file with '%' in the name using doc -o or doc -a but I can via the file menu?
Cheers,
pete

Hi peter:
Hmmm, it's funny. Sometimes you can do that, suppose your file named "test%.opj",typing
doc -o c:\test%.opj
it works. But while your file named "test%h.opj", you can not open files by:
doc -o c:\test%h.opj.
Remember that '%' is substitution notation in LabTalk scripts, so '%h' is a global variable here and means the current active window title. So once your filename including '%', please use '%%' to replace of it, '%%' in labtalk means only one '%' symble. So you can open file by:
doc -o c:\test%%h.opj

Hi Larry,
Thanks for the help - makes sense now that you mention it..
It's no problem for my apps to replace % in the file name by '%%' so should be okay.
Cheers,
Pete
