Origin Ver. 8prof wxp

I am importing one single file *.xls at a time by the impExcel command.

I need to get the name of the excel file into a variable for further automatic processing (.: copy, etc, etc).

I try different alternatives by using the fname$. Finally I am exhausted. I gave up.

Does anybody knows a way to get it?

Thanks, julio

Hi julio,

By default, the impExcel X-Function will rename the workbook with the file name. So, you can get the file name from the workbook name. For example:

// file to import
fname$ = system.path.program$ + "Samples\Automation Server\Excel\Analysis Template.xls";
// import file
impExcel;
// get the workbook name
string strName$ = page.name$;
// output the string variable
strName$ = ;
