Worksheet_Options_for_Import

 

-k

Syntax: worksheet -k n

Skip n header lines when importing ASCII data. Determines the number of lines of header to skip when importing an ASCII file. When n = 0, skip 0 lines. When n = 1, skip 1 line, etc.

string fname$ = system.path.program$ + "Samples\Import and Export\F1.dat";
newbook;
wo -k 1;
open -w %(fname$);

Note: This option is only affects "open -w" command. Default label rows display setting is the show Long Name, Units and Comments. "open -w" just puts first header row into LN, next into U, next into C. After "wo -k 1;", the import would ignore the first header line in the file and start with the second, third, etc. But those still get directed to LN, U and C.

-kl

Syntax: worksheet -kl n

Store a maximum of n lines of header information in column labels when importing ASCII data. Determines the maximum number of lines of header to store as column labels when importing an ASCII file.

Note: This option is only affects "open -w" command, similar to -k
