Hello,

I'm trying to execute the following LabTalk script in Origin:

for(ii=1; ii<=4; ii++)
{ 
string iiString$ = $(ii)    
newbook name:="iiString" sheet:=1 option:=lsname
}

I just paste it into Script Window and hit "enter" on my keyboard and nothing happens. I tried also putting a semicolon after:

first row; all text rows; rows in the loop; any of rows.

I also tried version with intended rows that are inside the loop. What may be the problem?

The problem likely comes from how you're using iiString$ inside newbook. The variable iiString$ is a string, but inside newbook, you are using it as a literal text instead of substituting its value.

The problem is in the ignoring of the requirement to separate operators by a semicolon.
