dear sir,
I want to compare the name of a object,for example,a worksheet with a string that comprises of a wildcard.
I want to use this kind of sentence like "if(%H=="data*")" where "*" denote a wildcard .But I can't make it working.
Could you please help me ?
Thank you !

Assuming you are using Origin 8, then

string name=%H;
if(name.Match("Book*"))
type yes;
else
type no;

See this link for LabTalk string variables:

Thank your kind help!
I use the Origin 7.5 version.
When I type

name=%H;
name=;

It returns

NAME=--

What is the problem ?

Time to get Origin 8 :)

LabTalk string variable was added in Origin 8, together with all the new functions. Origin 7.5 only has string registers %A-%Z.
