Origin 8 and Service Release 1

Hello everybody

I hope my English is not too bad and you understand my problem and have a solution.

I have different folder
c/a/
c/b
c/c
c/d

for example. In every folder is a txt file called Spannung.txt

I want all txt-files in one columne among each other.

I searched but I could not found a topic, which helped me.
Have anybody an idea for my problem ? Thanks for help!

Is this what you have in mind?

Select File : Import : Multiple ASCII
Browse to each folder and Add the file you want
Check the 'Show Options Dialog'
Click OK
Choose 'Start New Rows' for 'Import Mode'
Click OK

The script equivalent is:
string fname; // Declare a string for our file list
fname$="D:\tmp\a\Spannung.txt
D:\tmp\b\Spannung.txt
D:\tmp\c\Spannung.txt"; // Fill the list
impasc options.impmode:=2; // Import all files by new rows

Hello greg,

thanks for your answer. The problem is, I have more than 80 folder in which is the file "Spannung.txt". I cant open all the folders manually and add the files.

Then the answer is:

Right-click in the upper-left corner of an empty worksheet
Choose ASCII Options..
Change 'Import Mode' to 'Start New Rows'
Click Update

Now in Windows Explorer, browse to the top-level folder with all your subfolders.

Press F3 or Ctrl+E or click Search button
Enter 'Spannung.txt' as the file to search for
(I think default is to search subfolders, but click Advanced and make sure 'Search Subfolders' is checked.)
Click 'Search Now'
Select all the found files (Ctrl+A is the shortcut)
Drag the files onto the Origin worksheet

Viola!

(Tip 'o the hat to user eparent..)
