Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 7.5
Operating System: Windows XP
I am unable to run the "Automating a Repetitive Routine" Tutorial of Origin. The Tutorial works well until step #5. In Step #6 I was lost. This step will open a blank Data1 sheet in a new project. Typing in the script window "Process %yTutorial\Sample.txt" causes it to prompt "File not found". I guess the problem is that the C code makes reference to the file "FileName" and so it is unable to read the file "Sample" which is located in a directory "C:\Program Files\OriginLab\Origin75\Tutorial"; not "Tutorial\Sample.txt" as the tutorial suggests.

I would appreciate it very much to get some help.

Thanks.

Hi,

In Origin75, %y has been changed to refer to "The full path name to the User Files folder". I am sorry that our document is not updated.

In step6, please use following script insteadly

%a=system.path.program$;
Process %aTutorial\Sample.txt
