Origin 8 SR^ (Select Help-->About Origin):
Operating System: Windows

Hi,

I want to import a data file that has a specific name: ec091203-03s_1 and automatically rename it to ec091203-03s_l.

Can this be done using an import script or with an import filter?

I need to do the dame for a similar file, but than the filname is ec091203-03s_2 and automatically rename it to ec091203-03s_d

Next I want to use these worksheets to subtract one from the other and therefore I need to see if the dataset is 'd' or 'l'.

Can somebody advise me how to do this?

Thanks!

Lenneke

Since LabTalk has no file rename you would need to use OriginC which has a RenameFile function plus some other functions for parsing a filename which you should find useful. After you have written your OC file which might have two functions - one for each rename type - then you can create a filter for each type which does the appropriate rename at the end of the import.

So you might start with the dlgfile XF which will get filename into fname$:
dlgfile gr:=*.*;
Then use your filter with your code to do the import
impfile filter:=RenameType1 location:=user;
The RenameType1 filter has script that runs at the end of the import to load and compile your OriginC code and then calls the correct rename:
if(!run.loadoc(MyRenames.c))
RenameType1(%(fname$));
else
ty Could not load oc function.;

Your script after import could also tag the worksheet in some way so you can later identify it as 'd' or 'l'. Here is one possibility:
wks.userparam1$ = RenameType; // Add a user-defined header
wks.userparam1 = 1; // Show it in worksheet
col(1)[RenameType]$ = D; // Set value in column 1 to "D"
