Origin Ver. and Service Release (Select Help-->About Origin): 8.1
Operating System:xp

Hello,

I am trying to do the tutorial in 2.4.2 of the Labtalk Manual, and it has me type "string path$ = "D:\SAampleData\Waveform.dat"

then "impasc fname:=path$ options.ImpMode:=3"

to specify the path to the desired data file, and then import the file into a new workbook (impmode=3).

However, when I press enter after the second line, it gives this error:

Invalid file name!

What do you think is wrong?

Thanks,
Basheer

It is just an example, and assumes that there is a file Waveform.dat in the folder "D:\SampleData" .

You can import Origin's sample data file as follows:
------------------------------------------

string path$ = system.path.program$+"Samples\Curve Fitting\Gaussian.dat";
impasc fname:=path$ options.ImpMode:=3;

------------------------------------------

Thanks.

Also, I am using the 8.5 labtalk scripting guide but the originlab im using is 8.1 and I think it is causing some of the tutorials to not work when I try them. Is there any online 8.1 labtalk scripting guide I can read through instead?

What do you suggest?
