Hi everyone,
This is my first post and I hope you can help me.
I have a funtion:
f(x) = 2x and x = 1,2,3,4
I want using a Push Buttom (insert control) export the matrix x, f(x) in a .txt file.
This is posible? what is the script for this?
Hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance
Daniel
What do you want to use the push button for?
Can you not just write the data to a *.txt file as shown in my example?
Mike
Thank you for the answer...
I think in a botton to export the file when I want and not every think the soft calculate, but your answer help me.
I will explain exactly what I want to do.
I have a funtion:
f(x) =2x + 10
And x=1,2,3,4
I want export a .txt with this information:
12 1 $
14 2 $
16 3 $
18 4 $
I am a structural engineer and I need a file like this to import some information in to a structural soft.
All the Best
12 1 $ 14 2 $
16 3 $
18 4 $
Does it have to be in this exact format, because I'm pretty sure if the $ symbol is included the format will have to be changed to a string.
Mike
Yes I have to be in that exact format.
I have an idea have to do it, but I will need you help to accomplished.
I can i create a matrix with f(x) , x?
If I can create a matrix, I can put it in an excel sheet, and i manually type $, because the
amount of "x" will never change so I only need to type the $ one time.
And then I can export it with the file .txt (your example)
All the best
Here.
To modify the script to do what you want change the liine
OutputFile.WriteLine(OutputLine)
to
OutputFile.WriteLine(OutputLine & Delimiter & "$")
and change the delimiter definition at the top of the script to whatever you want.
Hi,
After tried a lot struff, I did what I want to.
The only thing I will like to do, is with a buttom "enable evaluation" and "disable evaluation" of the .txt, so the file only will export when I want it.
Here is the file. Probably you can do the same in one or two steps, but thats the only way I could it think.
If you want to change it be my guest...
All the best

There is no way to make a button do that for the file output control. At least, no way that wouldn't be at least 100 times as much work as modifying the file write button I just posted!
However, since you seem to be happy adding the $ symbol to the matrix Mathcad, and are currently using a tab as a delimiter, you can just use the button as is to write your file instead of the file output component.
