Origin Ver. 2025(64bit) and Service Release 10.2.0.188
Operating System: Win11
I am trying to use the wextract-X-function for data analysis from LABTalk-Skript.
- First I tried to do analysis on my own data and caused a series of program breakdowns. Due to our it-security (firewall) Orgin was not able to send reports.
- Then I strictly stayed to an programming example given in the X-Function help file. Still Origin shuts down (and is not able to send a report).
- At last I went to another Origin user in my company and tried the same example on her computer (the 1st example from the X-funstion help file) and it works. Origin Installation was done frome the same setup-File! We use same version of software.
- Finally, I decided to Repair my installation and used the setup file. No Success! Wextract function always causes Origin to breakdown on my computer if I run it from Labtalk Script-Window.
If I use the built in Menu-Worksheet-Extract data from worksheet Button everything works as it should....
Is there anything I can do?

Sorry for coming back after having stated , that everything works fine.
Now, I experience that in my origins projekt explorer "window" I do have a preview of the the items listed in the window.
This feature is very nasty. The Preview is that big, that it covers the whole window and I some time before was able to turne it off by setting some system variables. Unfortunatelly, I can´t remeber the exact procedure.
- Could you please provide help for this and
- Does it have to do something with my former X-functin problems? |

I also find that now, in script window, all help displays (when you enter a Labtalk command a "message window" opened up which guides you through the options of the command you are using) disappeared.

Thanks for quick answer:
I just tried out and have set @PESS = -1; in order to get rid of the preview in explorer .
Now, again the x-function wextract doesn´t work anymore!

Now I returned to Origin and set @PESS = 15; which was the setting before I switches to @PESS=-1.
Still the X-function doesn´t work and Origin closes.
Do I again have to restore my folders? |

| The preview in PE shouldn't affect the Xfunction. How did you run the Xfunction, can you paste the Labtalk line here? Thanks. |

wextract iy:=[Book1]Sheet1!col(A) settings.stAlias.Cols:=1
settings.stAlias.AliasNames:=A
settings.stCondition.Condition:="A<6"
settings.Cols:=1;
Info:
[Book1]Sheet1!col(A) contains numbers 1,2,3,4...10
[Book1]Sheet1!col(B) contains numbers 2,4,6,8...20
It´s the first example given in the help file for X-Function V2025 (local help file not internet version).

This morning I again followed the instructions given in
https://www.originlab.com/doc/en/Quick-Help/System-Folder-Build-Failed
(del -occlean; del –path; neuer Anwenderdateienordner)
and again tested wextract function.
This time I don´t have success. Wextract still can´t operate and causes breakdown of the program.
.
.
.
I tried it for another time and now succeeded.
wextract does work when everything is cleaned up from scratch.
To me it seams clear that changing @PESS changes the behaviour of x-function execution.

Sorry for posting again, but...
after I opened up a new user folder yesterday at last the wextract X-function worked and I decided to build up the script for my data. Everything worked as it should.
Coming to office today i started my computer an Origin again and again on execution of wextract X-function Origin closes down.
Sure I could repeat the whole process again but I fear that there must be another reason for the observed instability.
Do you have any ideas what I could check in order to get the program running stable?
