OriginPro 2023 (64-bit). and Service Release (10.0.0.154):
Operating System: Windows 10

Hi Origin Team,
I'm attempting todo a string comparison of the contents of one of my columns so I can preform further steps if its a match, However the imported Data contains the special '%' character which it interprets as a string register. How can I escape this so that it treats it like a regular string?
Example Column I'm referencing:



for(int ii = 1; ii < wks.ncols; ii+=1 )
{
string column$ = wcol(ii)[C]$;

int compareStrings = Compare(column$, 'Baseline 100%T',1);
type $(compareStrings);
}

Thank you for your help,
Robbie

There might be a system variable to disable such substitutions, but you can always prevent % substitution by using %%, like


Compare(column$, 'Baseline 100%%T',1);
