Save Table Copy - Help

I am attempting to automatically create and save out (tab-delimited txt file) a table comprised of the results of an Igor procedure. The results are within a subfolder of the original waves and there are many result files. I would like all of the result files to be placed inside the same table/file for subsequent analysis outside of Igor. I tried to do this by simply finding the subfolder using the data browser, setting that as my current data folder and running a procedure similar to the example in the displayhelptopic for "savetablecopy". //for example savealltables ("_none_"," ") // "_none_" is used since the files are inside the current data folder Function savealltables(pathName, fileName) String pathName // Name of an Igor symbolic path. String fileName String tableName Variable index index = 0 do tableName = WinName(index, 2) if (strlen(tableName) == 0) break endif SaveTableCopy/P=$pathName/W=$tableName/T=1/A=1 as fileName index += 1 while(1) End When I run this procedure it creates a blank txt file. What am I doing wrong? The only way I can get the results in the file is if I create a new table within Igor containing all of the results, then running the save procedure. However, if I have to create the table using Windows>NewTable I might as well save it out using File>SaveTableCopy. I am trying to streamline the steps as much as possible since I am dealing with large batches of files. Any help would be appreciated. |

The term "table" in SaveTableCopy refers to an Igor table window that you have created. SaveTableCopy saves the text in the Igor table window to a file.
I get the feeling that you want to save the contents of all of the waves in the current data folder to a file. For that you need to create a list of wave names and then save it using Save/J. /J means "delimited text". Here is a crack (untested) at what I think you want to do:
