Last Update: 2/3/2015

There are many LabTalk script files (with OGS file extension) located in the folder of <Origin Installation Directory>/Samples/LabTalk Script Examples/. You can open any of these files from Code Builder (open by menu View: Code Builder) and view the scripts.

To run any of the examples from the Command Window, you can follow the steps below:

1. Use cd X-Function to locate the current working directory to the folder of these LabTalk script files, like:

   cd 2;

2. List all the files in this directory by using dir X-Function:

   dir;

3. This step is optional. To open a file in Code Builder, you can use ed.open(fileName.ogs), such as:

   ed.open(embed_graphs.ogs);

4. To run an example, just pick one from the list and simply type the file name in the Command Window, and press Enter, for example:

   embed_graphs;

The LabTalk Scripting Guide, the LabTalk Language Reference and Script Examples are all useful in learning LabTalk.
