Hi,

I have an ASCII files. One column contain numbers like

172768983471095000
75094093117521900
75094093180436400
75094093226573800
75094093260128200
75094093297876900

When imported this numbers change into scientific format like

1.72769E17
7.50941E16
7.50941E16
7.50941E16
7.50941E16
7.50941E16


It would be not disaster but when expotring the file it keeps the scientific format. Is there some option to avoid this?


Thanks
Oliver

Hi Oliver. I think you can turn off the scientific notation before exporting the column. This could be done by:
1. From Origin menu, choose Tools: Option.
2. In the Numeric Format tab of the Options dialog, change the Upper Threshold Power to 18 (if the largest number is 1.72769E17 as you have posted here.). Click OK to close the dialog.
3. You would be asked: "Save as Origin's start up Options?" Please click OK.
4. Then you can export the data with Origin.

If you want, you can reset the Options after the exportation.

Hi Oliver,

You can do that via Origin C with LabTalk's system.numeric.sigDigitsU property...

int susave = LabTalk.system.numeric.sigdigitsu;
LabTalk.system.numeric.sigdigitsu = 18;
Worksheet wks = Project.ActiveLayer();
string strFile = GetSaveAsBox("*.dat");
wks.ExportASCII(strFile, WKS_EXPORT_ALL);
LabTalk.system.numeric.sigdigitsu = susave;
