Origin Ver. 7.0558 and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin):
Operating System: Windows XP

Hello,

Is it possible to read information from a note? I am able to write data from my worksheet to a note using the redirection, but I haven't seen anything allowing you to read strings from a note. What happens is when data is taken, a note is generated in which is listed some information I would like to include at the top of a .txt file I will export. I was hoping to get that data and put it in a new note with the data below it, and then save the note as a .txt file. However, I am stuck on how to access the strings I need from the other note. Can you help me? I thought perhaps if the strings can't be read from a note, perhaps a temporary .txt file could be made.

Thanks,
Katie

void nn(string strNoteWinName)
{
	Note nw(strNoteWinName);
	out_str(nw.Text);
}

Thank you so much! For whatever reason, I didn't see that in the help files I was searching through.

When I executed that command, it printed it to the script window. When I redirected it to a note page Notes, I got an error. Can I save it to a string somehow or put it right into a different note page?

Also, is there any way that you can search to read just a section of a note? The note I have has a lot of excess information that is generated, and I only want the comments portion. In each note it is the same, and the string reads:

comment="The comment is in here"

It is the first and only occurance of the word comment within the note so might I be able to search for it and then read the text between the quotation marks?
